  • Gunners narrowly missed out on title
  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    The Gunners supporters have voted for the team captain as the best player throughout the 2023-24 campaign. Odegaard scored eight goals and registered 10 assists as the north London team came agonisingly close to winning the Premier League title, only to lose out to Manchester City. Odegaard received 33 per cent of the votes.

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Centre-back William Saliba was third in the voting, while Declan Rice was the runner-up after impressing throughout his first season at the club since joining from West Ham in an expensive transfer last summer.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Odegaard won the award last season, too, and is now just the fifth player to win the club's Player of the Season prize twice in a row. He follows in the footsteps of Liam Brady, Ian Wright, Thierry Henry and Bukayo Saka.

    WHAT NEXT FOR ARSENAL?

    Odegaard and his Arsenal team-mates will hope to go one better next year after two failed Premier Leaegue title challenges. City will be seen as the title favourites again next term but Mikel Arteta's team will be confident of putting together another real challenge.
