Arsenal Best Players This Season

We are here with our top 3 ranking of Arsenal's best players this season, and all these 3 stars are probably going to end up as legends of the club if Mikel Arteta's side finish the season as Premier League winners. The Gunners are currently in a dream position this season, as they are expected to win the Premier League, are going to play in the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City, still part of the FA Cup, and are also one of the favourites to win the UEFA Champions League. As things stand, Mikel Arteta's men could finish the season with a treble or even quadruple. 


All the players in Arsenal's squad have been Impressive this season, and have played a huge role in their current standing. However, there are a few who have been absolutely brilliant this season, and we will be ranking those players in this article. So let us now look at Arsenal's best players this season


Who are Arsenal's best players right now? Our top 3 ranking 


3. Gabriel

Arsenal arguably have the best defenders in world football right now, and the depth they boast at the back is simply unbelievable. Gabriel has been the leader of this world-class defense, and this is the season where he has proved himself to be one of the best centre-backs in the world. The Brazilian is a special talent who stands out not just for his defensive brilliance, but his exquisite ability to score or assist from corners. In fact, he's already scored 3 and assisted 4 in the Premier League this season. Additionally, the Brazilian has scored one and assisted another in the Champions League as well. He is undoubtedly a special player.


2. Declan Rice

Declan Rice is arguably going to end up as the best ever signing of the Mikel Arteta era at Arsenal when we look back at it after a few years. Rice came to the club as a young player with immense potential. However, Mikel Arteta saw that there was much more to his game, and has now transformed him into a world-class number 8 midfielder who's more involved in the attack. The numbers are a proof of this, as Rice has already scored 4 and assisted 5 in the Premier League this season, which is 2 more than what he record in the entirety of the previous campaign. The scary thing is that the best is yet to come from him.


1. Martin Zubimendi

Martin Zubimendi in our opinion has not only been Arsenal's best player this season, but also one of their transformative signings in recent history and also one of the biggest reasons Mikel Arteta's men will end up winning the league. He has been outstanding for the Gunners as a defensive midfielder, helping out in both defense and attack. In fact, it is only due to Zubimendi's brilliance in midfield that Mikel Arteta has been able to unlock the attacking brilliance of Declan Rice. In addition to providing cover for Arsenal's backline, Zubimendi has also scored 5 goals for the Gunners this season, with of them coming in absolute crucial moments. He has been an outstanding signing.


In conclusion, Arsenal’s incredible season so far has been powered by several outstanding individual performances, with a few players truly standing out as the driving force behind their success. As Mikel Arteta’s side continues to compete on multiple fronts, these top performers have consistently delivered when it matters most. If the Gunners manage to convert their strong position into major silverware, the impact of these stars will undoubtedly be remembered as a key part of one of the club’s most remarkable seasons.
