Arsenal have announced David Raya, Martin Ødegaard, Bruno Guimaraes and Ezri Konsa as the four nominees for the club’s Player of the Month award for September.
Raya played a decisive role in securing victories over Chelsea and Sunderland, producing outstanding saves in both matches.
In Arsenal’s 2-1 win against Chelsea, he denied Estevao with an excellent stoppage-time save. At the Stadium of Light, he saved a Sunderland penalty to preserve another three points.
Both efforts were nominated for the Premier League Save of the Month award, underlining the goalkeeper’s contribution to Arsenal’s success during the season.
Ødegaard also made a significant impact during the month. He finished a flowing team move to put Arsenal ahead in their 2-1 victory over Chelsea at Emirates Stadium early in September.
Three days later, he scored the only goal in a 1-0 win against Napoli at Stadio San Paolo. The goal took his total for the season to four, already surpassing the number he scored throughout the whole of the 2024-25 campaign.
Guimaraes was introduced at half-time against Sunderland and opened the scoring with an impressive finish. He then started Arsenal’s EFL Cup third-round tie with Ipswich Town, helping them to a 4-2 victory.
Konsa made his first start for the team in September when he lined up alongside Gabriel against Chelsea. Arsenal won 2-1, with Konsa drawing a loud response from the Emirates crowd after a well-timed sliding tackle dispossessed his former team-mate Morgan Rogers.
The defender also helped Arsenal record clean sheets in their Champions League match against Napoli and their Premier League fixture against Sunderland.
