Gunners Contributed more Players to the 30-Man Shortlist Than Any Other Club

Arsenal were the second most represented club in the 30-man shortlist for the 2022 Ballon d'Or, with three players making the cut.

Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, and Gabriel Jesus all made the list, behind only Real Madrid, who had four players nominated.

Saka and Odegaard have been two of Arsenal's standout performers in recent seasons, with the former establishing himself as one of the most exciting young players in Europe.

Jesus, meanwhile, has made a big impact since joining Arsenal from Manchester City in the summer, scoring five goals in his first 10 appearances for the club.

The Gunners are currently top of the Premier League, having won 10 of their first 12 games. They have also reached the Carabao Cup quarter-finals and the Europa League group stage.

Mikel Arteta's side have been praised for their attacking style of play and their ability to compete with the best teams in Europe.

Saka, Odegaard, and Jesus Key to Arsenal's Success

Saka, Odegaard, and Jesus have all been key to Arsenal's success this season.
