Background

[edit]
See also: 2023–24 Arsenal F.C. season

The 2023–24 campaign was a record-breaking season for Arsenal.[3] They kicked off their campaign by winning the FA Community Shield for the 17th time in their history.[4]

The Gunners were the third-youngest team in the 2023–24 Premier League with an average starting age of 25 years and 158 days.[5] They scored 91 goals in the Premier League, their highest-ever total in the competition. It was the most they had netted in a league campaign since 1952–53.[6] Arteta's side conceded just 29 goals in the Premier League – five fewer than the second-lowest team. This was Arsenal's best defensive record for 20 years. They finished with a goal difference of +62 in the division, their highest-ever total in the competition's history. The Gunners kept 18 clean sheets (7 at home, 11 on the road) in the league, five more than the second-highest sides.[3]

Arsenal won 28 Premier League games in the 2023–24 season, their highest tally in a top-flight campaign since 1970–71. The Gunners picked up 89 points, the second-highest total in their history.[3] However, this was still not enough to win the Premier League title. Arteta's side ended their season as runners-up – the third-best second-placed team in the competition's history – two points behind champions Manchester City.[7]

After a six-year absence, Arsenal started their 20th UEFA Champions League campaign since the 1992–93 season in September 2023. They finished the group stage as winners of Group B, with the highest goal difference of any team (+12).[8] The Gunners progressed to the quarter-final of the Champions League for the first time since 2009–10, ending a run of seven consecutive last-16 eliminations in the competition.[3] Their first Champions League campaign in seven years finished in the last eight, after a 3–2 aggregate loss to German side Bayern Munich.

Pre-season

[edit]

The UEFA Euro 2024 took place in Germany from 14 June to 14 July. Ten Arsenal players (excluding players who were loaned out) were named in squads for the tournament: Leandro Trossard (Belgium), Aaron Ramsdale, Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka (England), William Saliba (France), Kai Havertz (Germany), Jorginho (Italy), Jakub Kiwior (Poland), David Raya (Spain), and Oleksandr Zinchenko (Ukraine).[9] Raya became a Euro 2024 winner as Spain beat England in the final.[10]

Gabriel Magalhães and Gabriel Martinelli were named in Brazil's squad for the 2024 Copa América, which was held in the United States from 20 June to 14 July.[11] Brazil were eliminated in the quarter-finals on 6 July.

On 24 June, Arsenal announced that Estonian goalkeeper and academy graduate Karl Hein had signed a new contract.[12][13]

It was reported on 15 July that the first-team players who hadn't been away on international duty at Euro 2024 or Copa América were back to the London Colney training ground for pre-season training.[14]

On 21 July, manager Arteta named an initial 26-man squad – including twelve academy players – for the trip to the United States where they would play three friendlies.[15]

Three days later, Arsenal faced Premier League side Bournemouth at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. Fábio Vieira gave the Gunners a first-half lead with a volley. The Cherries equalised through a deflected Antoine Semenyo effort in the second half. Following the game, a pre-planned penalty shootout took place, which saw Arteta's side triumph 5–4 with Kiwior netting the winning spot-kick after Hein made two saves.[16][17]

On 27 July, the Gunners took on Premier League club Manchester United at SoFi Stadium, the home of the National Football League's Los Angeles Rams which is also owned by Kroenke Sports and Entertainment. Rasmus Højlund gave United an early lead. Gabriel Jesus levelled for Arteta's side with a close-range finish. Substitute Martinelli scored a late goal, helping Arsenal win 2–1. In the post-match penalty shootout, United won 4–3 following misses from Havertz and Kiwior.[18][19]

Arsenal played their third and final game of the 10-day USA tour against Premier League side Liverpool at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on 31 July. Goals from Mohamed Salah and Fábio Carvalho gave Liverpool a 2–0 lead. The Gunners pulled one back through Havertz's close-range shot, but they were unable to find an equaliser. After the game, Arteta's team flew back to London overnight.[20][21][22]

On 6 August, the club confirmed that Zinchenko would wear the number 17 shirt, moving from his previous number 35.[23]

The Gunners continued their preparations for the new season with a 4–1 win over reigning Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen at Emirates Stadium on 7 August. Zinchenko, Trossard and Gabriel Jesus all scored in the first half. Havertz then added a fourth after half-time. Xabi Alonso's side claimed a late consolation through Adam Hložek.[24][25]

New recruit Riccardo Calafiori warming up in the 2024 Emirates Cup match

Arsenal finished their pre-season campaign by beating Ligue 1 side Lyon 2–0 to claim the 2024 Emirates Cup on 11 August. Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães both scored from Rice corners in the first half. New signing Riccardo Calafiori made his non-competitive debut for the Gunners as a substitute in the 64th minute.[26][27]

First-team transfers (summer transfer window)

[edit]

The Premier League summer transfer window runs from 14 June to 30 August 2024.[28] Arsenal announced on 3 June that they were to release 22 players,[29] two of whom, Mohamed Elneny and Cédric Soares, made 161 and 64 appearances for the Gunners' first-team in all competitions respectively.

David Raya playing for Arsenal in October 2023

On 4 July, the club confirmed that they had completed the permanent signing of 28-year-old Spanish goalkeeper and reigning Premier League Golden Glove winner David Raya from Premier League side Brentford on a long-term deal after the Spaniard's initial loan spell with the Gunners in 2023–24.[30] The transfer fee was reported to be £27 million.[31] He is the fifteenth player from Spain to represent Arsenal's first team.[32]

On 15 July, the Gunners announced the departures of two first-team players: Belgian midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga joined La Liga club Sevilla on a season-long loan,[33] and Portuguese defender Nuno Tavares joined Serie A side Lazio on a one-year loan.[34]

Arsenal confirmed on 29 July that 22-year-old Italian defender Riccardo Calafiori had joined the club on a long-term contract from Serie A side Bologna,[35] for a reported fee of an initial £33.6 million (€40 million), which could reach £42 million (€50 million) with add-ons.[36] He would wear the number 33 shirt,[35] and would be the fourth Italian to feature for the Gunners in competitive action.[37]

On 2 August, the club announced that English midfielder and academy graduate Emile Smith Rowe, who had made 115 first-team appearances in all competitions for the Gunners, joined Premier League side Fulham on a permanent transfer.[38] The fee was reported to be an initial £27 million, potentially rising to £34 million in add-ons.[39]

The Gunners confirmed on 13 August that Estonian goalkeeper Karl Hein had joined La Liga side Real Valladolid on a one-year loan.[40]

Mikel Merino with Real Sociedad in 2018

On 27 August, Arsenal announced that 28-year-old Spanish midfielder and Euro 2024 winner Mikel Merino had joined the club from La Liga side Real Sociedad on a long-term contract.[41] The transfer fee was reported to be an initial £27.4 million (€32.5 million), with a further £4.2 million (€5 million) in add-ons.[42] He would take the number 23 shirt,[41] and would be the sixteenth Spaniard to play for Arsenal's first team.[43]

On 28 August, the club confirmed the loan departure of Portuguese midfielder Fábio Vieira to Primeira Liga side Porto until the end of the season.[44]

On English transfer deadline day, 30 August, Arsenal announced that the club had signed 35-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper Neto on a season-long loan from Premier League side Bournemouth. He would take the number 32 shirt.[45] On the night 29-year-old English forward Raheem Sterling joined Arsenal on a one-year loan from Premier League club Chelsea after a deal sheet was submitted to allow his move to go through beyond the transfer deadline.[46] He would wear the number 30 shirt.[47]

On the same day, the Gunners confirmed the departures of three first-team players: English Goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale joined Premier League side Southampton on a permanent transfer for a reported fee of £18 million with £7 million in add-ons.[48][49] English striker and academy graduate Eddie Nketiah, who had made 168 first-team appearances in all competitions for the Gunners, joined Premier League club Crystal Palace on a permanent deal.[50] The fee was reported to be an initial £25 million, potentially rising to £30 million in add-ons.[51] English forward and academy graduate Reiss Nelson joined Premier League side Fulham on a season-long loan.[52]

After the summer transfer window closed, there were twenty-two players in the first-team squad: two goalkeepers, nine defenders, six midfielders, and five forwards. Six other first-team players were out on loan.[53]

August

[edit]

Arteta's side kicked off their Premier League campaign with a 2–0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at home on 17 August. Havertz headed in a 25th-minute opener from Saka's cross before the roles were reversed on 74 minutes as Saka picked up Havertz's pass and rifled into the near post. Arsenal goalkeeper Raya made two vital saves to keep out Jørgen Strand Larsen's close-range header and Pablo Sarabia's first-time volley.[54][55] The result meant that the Gunners had scored in each of their last 34 meetings with Wolves in all competitions, the longest scoring streak against an opponent in the club's history.[56]

Starting XI (4–3–3 formation) for Premier League away match against Aston Villa on 24 August[57]

On 24 August, Arsenal played their first away game of the season against Aston Villa, the only side to complete the league double over the Gunners in the previous campaign. The hosts thought they had taken the lead on 54 minutes when Amadou Onana's deflected shot looped up onto the crossbar, with the rebound falling for an unmarked Ollie Watkins to head home from close range, only for Arsenal goalkeeper Raya to get off the ground to make a stunning one-handed stop,[58][57][59] which would later win August 2024's Premier League Save of the Month award.[60] Substitute Trossard broke the deadlock in the 67th minute, sweeping home with his first touch. Partey scored his first away goal in the Premier League on 77 minutes with a long-range effort. Two minutes later, manager Arteta sent on new signing Calafiori for his Gunners debut. The 2–0 win meant that Arsenal had won their first two games in a top-flight campaign without conceding for the third time in their history, after previously doing so in 1924–25 and 1971–72.[57]

On 30 August, Arsenal announced that new recruit Mikel Merino, who joined the club just three days prior, suffered a shoulder injury in his first training session with the team. He would be out of action for a few weeks.[61] Gabriel Jesus and Takehiro Tomiyasu were also out injured.[61]

A day later, the Gunners played at home against Brighton & Hove Albion. Arteta was forced to name four academy players on the bench because deadline-day signings Neto and Raheem Sterling were not registered in time to play in this match and there were no other fit senior players up until that point.[62] Arsenal controlled the first half and took the lead in the 38th minute as Havertz lobbed the onrushing goalkeeper from outside of the box.[63][64] But the game completely changed four minutes into the second half when Rice was shown the first red card of his career by referee Chris Kavanagh, after the midfielder received a controversial second yellow card for "delaying" Joël Veltman's free-kick near the touchline deep in Brighton's half.[63][64][65] Upon replay, it was clear that the ball was rolling before Rice nudging it away, so it would not have been a legal free-kick.[65][63][66] Unlike Rice, Brighton's João Pedro who booted the ball far away after it had gone out near the half-way line in the first half, wasn't penalised, or even spoken to, by referee Kavanagh.[65][63][66] The visitors equalised on 58 minutes as Pedro tucked home the rebound after Raya saved Yankuba Minteh's shot. 10-man Arsenal fought hard to prevent conceding another goal and the game ended 1–1.[63][64]

September

[edit]

Twelve Arsenal first-team players (excluding players who were loaned out) were named in their respective countries' senior squads for international fixtures in September: Gabriel Magalhães (Brazil), Rice and Saka (England), Saliba (France), Partey (as Ghana's captain),[67][68] Havertz (Germany), Calafiori (Italy), Jurriën Timber (Netherlands), Martin Ødegaard (as Norway's captain), Kiwior (Poland), Raya (Spain), and Zinchenko (Ukraine).[69]

On 4 September, the club submitted their 2024–25 Champions League squad for the league phase of the competition. Twenty-two first-team players and young goalkeeper Tommy Setford who joined Arsenal's academy from Dutch side Ajax in July 2024,[70] were registered on the Squad List A.[71] Nine days later, the club confirmed that 22 first-team players and 48 under-21 players were registered on the 2024–25 Premier League Squad List for the first half of the season.[72]

Arsenal announced on 12 September that manager Arteta had signed a new contract with the club,[73] reportedly keeping him at Emirates Stadium until 2027.[74] A day later, Arsenal confirmed that Ødegaard suffered an ankle injury during Norway's game against Austria on 9 September, and Calafiori also returned from Italy duty with a calf injury.[75]

Starting XI (4–4–2) for Premier League away match against Tottenham Hotspur on 15 September[76]

The Gunners continued their Premier League campaign with a North London derby away against 10th-placed Tottenham Hotspur on 15 September.[77] Arteta faced a sudden lack of midfield options and was forced to name five academy players on the bench, because six first-team players were injured and Rice was suspended up until that point.[78] In the 64th minute, Gabriel Magalhães netted the only goal of the game with a header from Saka's corner, becoming the fourth Arsenal player to score 10+ headed goals in the Premier League.[76] New loan signing Sterling made his debut for Arsenal as a substitute on 80 minutes.[77] The 1–0 win meant that the Gunners had won six consecutive Premier League away matches for the first time since 2013, and they had won three consecutive away North London derbies for the first time since 1988. The result sent them back to the second of the Premier League table.[76]

Arsenal opened their 2024–25 Champions League campaign in Bergamo, Italy, facing the previous season's Europa League champions Atalanta on 19 September. In the 48th minute with the score at 0–0, the hosts were awarded a penalty after Partey had fouled Éderson. However, Raya made a brilliant double save to keep out Mateo Retegui's attempt and follow-up header.[79] He became the fourth Arsenal goalkeeper to save a penalty in the Champions League, after Richard Wright, Jens Lehmann and Łukasz Fabiański.[80] The game ended goalless.[79]

The Gunners played their third consecutive away game in seven days against 1st-placed Manchester City on 22 September. Erling Haaland opened the scoring early on for the hosts. Arteta's side drew level with a long-range stunner scored by Calafiori, then took the lead through a Gabriel Magalhães header. However in the final seconds of the first half, Trossard was given a controversial second yellow card for "kicking the ball away and delaying a restart" by referee Michael Oliver.[81][82] It was later revealed by broadcaster Sky Sports that there was just 0.84 seconds between Oliver's whistle and Trossard kicking the ball way.[83][84] 10-man Arsenal battled hard in the second half until the eighth minute of stoppage time when John Stones latched onto a rebound and netted an equaliser for the hosts.[82] The game also saw academy player Myles Lewis-Skelly made his senior debut for the Gunners as a substitute in the second half.[81] In the post-match press conference, Arteta confirmed that White came on to help the team for the second-half despite being injured.[85]

Arsenal's 2024–25 EFL Cup campaign began in the third round against League One side Bolton Wanderers at home on 25 September.[86] Arteta opted to rest several first-team players and chose a youthful line-up with an average age of 23 years and 87 days – the youngest starting XI the Spaniard has named in his near-five-year spell as Gunners boss.[87] With number one stopper Raya and 18-year-old understudy Tommy Setford injured and summer loan signing Neto cup-tied,[88] Arteta called on Arsenal's fourth choice Jack Porter, who at 16 years and 72 days became the youngest goalkeeper to play for Arsenal's first team,[89] and the youngest player to start an Arsenal first-team match.[87] Another debutant Josh Nichols also received his first start.[87] Rice put the Gunners ahead on 16 minutes. Ethan Nwaneri scored his first two senior goals for Arsenal in the 37th and 49th minute respectively.[86] Aaron Collins pulled one back for Bolton on 53 minutes. Sterling netted his first Arsenal goal in the 64th minute.[88] Defender Maldini Kacurri made his senior debut as a substitute in the 70th minute, becoming the first Albanian national to represent Arsenal's first team in the club's history.[87] Havertz wrapped up the scoring on 77 minutes.[86] Young winger Ismeal Kabia received his debut in the 81st minute.[87] The 5–1 result advanced Arsenal to the next round.[88]

On 28 September, Arteta's side played at home against newly promoted Leicester City. Martinelli opened the scoring for Arsenal, ending his 19-game goal drought dating back to 4 March. Trossard doubled the lead on the stroke of half-time.[90] But James Justin's deflected header and first-time volley after the interval brought Leicester back level. The Gunners restored their two-goal advantage in second-half stoppage time through a Wilfred Ndidi own goal and a close-range Havertz strike. The 4–2 victory put Arsenal a point behind leaders Liverpool.[91]

Starting XI (4–4–2) for Champions League home match against Paris Saint-Germain on 1 October[92]

Arsenal returned to Champions League action on 1 October, hosting the previous season's Ligue 1 champions and Champions League semi-finalists Paris Saint-Germain. The Gunners took the lead in the 20th minute when Havertz headed in Trossard's cross.[93] Fifteen minutes later, Saka curled a low free-kick from wide on the right into a crowded penalty area; the ball somehow evaded everyone and flew straight into the back of the net.[94] It was Arsenal's first direct free-kick goal in the Champions League since November 2002 when Thierry Henry scored one against Italian side Roma.[93] In the 64th minute Arteta handed a belated debut to summer signing Merino who had recovered from a shoulder injury.[94] The game ended 2–0.[94]

Ahead of the second international break of the campaign, Arteta's men played their seventh match in 21 days on 5 October when they faced newly promoted Southampton at home. Second-half goals from Havertz, Martinelli and Saka saw the Gunners come from behind to win 3–1 and extend their unbeaten start to the season to ten games.[95] This was Arsenal's 400th Premier League home victory, making them the second side to reach the milestone.[96] Havertz became the first Arsenal player to score in seven consecutive home appearances in all competitions since 2011–12.[95][96]

Ten Arsenal first-team players (excluding players who were loaned out) joined up with their respective senior national teams for international fixtures in October: Trossard (Belgium), Gabriel Magalhães and Martinelli (Brazil), Rice and Saka (England), Saliba (France), Calafiori (Italy), Kiwior (Poland), Merino and Raya (Spain).[97]

Following the international break, Arsenal faced 13th-placed Bournemouth away on 19 October.[98] Already missing Ødegaard and Saka through injury, the Gunners lost Saliba in the 30th minute as the French centre-back was shown the first red card of his career for a foul on Evanilson near the halfway line after a poor backwards pass from Trossard.[98][99][100] Saliba was initially given a yellow card, but the referee upgraded his decision to a red after being instructed to check the pitchside monitor by video assistant referee Jarred Gillett.[98][99] Martinelli missed a golden chance to put 10-man Arsenal in front on 69 minutes, shooting straight at the Bournemouth goalkeeper from close range.[98][100] Just a minute later, Ryan Christie broke the deadlock with a first-time shot following a Bournemouth corner routine. Kiwior's loose backpass on 77 minutes resulted in the hosts scoring a decisive second goal from the penalty spot.[98][100] The 2–0 loss was Arsenal's first defeat of the season, and their first away loss in the Premier League in 2024.[100]

Arteta's side hosted the previous season's Ukrainian Premier League champions Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League on 22 October. In the 29th minute, Martinelli's low shot hit the post and then rebounded back into the net off Shakhtar goalkeeper Dmytro Riznyk.[101] The Gunners had the chance to extend the lead in the final 20 minutes, as Merino's cross was handled and they were awarded a penalty after a VAR review. But Trossard's spot-kick was poor and saved by Riznyk.[102] In stoppage time Raya produced a flying save to deny Pedrinho's long-range shot, helping Arsenal win 1–0.[101] The result meant that the Gunners had recorded three successive clean sheets in the Champions League for the first time since 2007.[102]

On 27 October, the Gunners played at home against 1st-placed Liverpool.[103][104] Saka opened the scoring in the ninth minute with a near-post finish, becoming the youngest Arsenal player to net 50 Premier League goals.[105] Virgil van Dijk levelled for Liverpool on 18 minutes with a close-range header.[104] Arteta's side retook the lead in the 41st minute when Merino headed home his first Arsenal goal from Rice's free-kick.[103][104] The Gunners were undermined by injuries to key defenders Gabriel Magalhães and Timber after the break, having already been without the suspended Saliba and injured Calafiori.[103][105] The pressure on their backline was consequently mounting before Liverpool equalised through Mohamed Salah on 81 minutes.[103][105] In second-half stoppage time Gabriel Jesus bundled the ball home, but referee Anthony Taylor had already blown for a foul by Kiwior in the build up.[103][104] The game ended 2–2.[104]

Arsenal continued their EFL Cup campaign on 30 October, facing Championship side Preston North End away in the fourth round.[106] Arteta handed a belated debut to teenage goalkeeper Tommy Setford, who missed the third-round game against Bolton Wanderers through injury in September.[107] Gabriel Jesus opened the scoring for the Gunners, ending his 24-game goal drought dating back to 30 January.[108] Nwaneri doubled the lead with a curling effort into the top corner, becoming the youngest player to net in each of his first two starts for Arsenal.[108] Second-half substitute Havertz rounded off the scoring with a header. Young defender Ayden Heaven received his debut in the final ten minutes.[109] The 3–0 result advanced Arsenal to the quarter-finals.[106]

November

[edit]

The Gunners faced 12th-placed Newcastle United away on 2 November. Alexander Isak scored the only goal of the game for the hosts in the 12th minute. Arsenal had good chances to draw level, with Merino's shot blocked on the line and Rice heading wide from close range in either half.[110][111] This was the first time since May 2022 that Arsenal had lost successive away matches in the Premier League.[110] It was revealed later that Rice had suffered a broken toe in this game.[112]

On 6 November, Arteta's men made the trip to Italy for the Champions League match against the previous season's Serie A champions Inter Milan. Ødegaard returned to the bench after missing 12 Arsenal games with injury.[113] The Gunners had a penalty shout in the 28th minute when Merino appeared to beat Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer to a high ball in the box and took a punch to the head in the process, but VAR decided not to overturn a no-penalty decision.[114][115] In first-half stoppage time, the hosts were awarded a spot-kick after the ball ricocheted into Merino's arm at close range, although he did not have time to move his arm out of the way.[114][115] Hakan Çalhanoğlu then scored from the penalty spot – Inter's only shot on target throughout the game.[114] Arsenal dominated the second half but could not find a way past the hosts' defence.[115] The 1–0 defeat was Arsenal's third away loss in 18 days.

On 10 November, the Gunners faced Chelsea away in their final fixture before the third international break of the season. After a scoreless first half that saw Havertz had a goal ruled out for offside by VAR,[116] Martinelli put Arsenal in front on the hour mark when he tucked home a cross by Ødegaard, who made his first start since 31 August.[117] Pedro Neto slammed in from distance to drag the hosts level 10 minutes later.[117] Arsenal squandered a golden chance in stoppage time, as Saliba played an inviting ball across the Chelsea box, but Trossard poked wide from close range, with Havertz waiting to tap home behind him.[116] The 1–1 draw meant that the Gunners had gone four consecutive Premier League matches without a win for the first time since April 2023, putting them nine points behind leaders Liverpool.[116]

A run of early-season injuries for Arteta's side continued, as it was reported on 13 November that White had undergone a surgery to resolve a knee issue that he had been carrying for weeks, and would be sidelined for about two months.[118]

Ten Arsenal first-team players (excluding players who were loaned out) joined up with their respective senior national teams for international fixtures in November: Trossard (Belgium), Gabriel Magalhães and Martinelli (Brazil), Saliba (France), Havertz (Germany), Timber (Netherlands), Kiwior (Poland), Merino and Raya (Spain), and Zinchenko (Ukraine).[119]

Kit information

[edit]

This is Adidas's sixth year supplying Arsenal kit, having taken over from Puma at the beginning of the 2019–20 season.[355][356]

  • Home: The club revealed their new home kit for the 2024–25 season on 16 May 2024. The kit uses Arsenal's traditional colours of red and white. The shirt has a red body and white sleeves with blue stripes on the collar and shoulders, and is complemented by white shorts and red socks. Red shorts may be used in some away games when there will be a colour clash with the home team's kit. This is the first time the club's iconic cannon has featured outside the crest on the home shirt since 1989–90.[357] The kit was launched alongside a film named The Year of the Cannon.[358]
  • Away: On 18 July, the Gunners released their new away kit, which honours the connection between the club, north London, and Africa, recognising Arsenal's African players and supporters. The shirt has a black base with red-and-green stripes on the collar and shoulders, and is combined with black shorts and black socks. A white zig-zag graphic runs down the arms and flanks of the torso.[359] White shorts or socks may be used in some away games when there will be a colour clash with the home team's kit. The kit was launched with an accompanying video named From Africa to Arsenal and back again 🌍.[360]
  • Third: The new third kit was revealed on 12 August. The shirt has an aqua blue coloured base with a lilac purple fade along the front. The collar and shoulder also contain navy blue stripes. The shirt is partnered with navy shorts and socks.[361] Aqua shorts and/or socks may be used in some away games when there will be a colour clash with the home team's kit. The kit was launched alongside a film named Arsenal. An Original. Always. 💜💙.[362]
  • Goalkeeper: The new goalkeeper kits are based on Adidas's goalkeeper template for the season.

[edit]

The winner of the award was chosen by a combination of an online public vote and a panel of experts.

David Raya became the first goalkeeper in the award's history to be nominated for two separate saves in the same month when he did so in August 2024. The second of these saves, a stunning one-handed stop to deny Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins, subsequently won the Save of the Month award.[60] It prevented Arsenal from going 1–0 down at Villa Park after 54 minutes of a match they ultimately went on to win 2–0.[58] It also made Arsenal the most awarded club at the time of Raya's win, adding to Ramsdale's two awards to bring the club's total up to three awards.
