For the second season running, Arsenal finished second only to Manchester City in the Premier League.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Gunners managed an incredible 89 points in 2023\/24, which is the same total City beat them with last season, enough to have won the league in 16 of the previous 28 campaigns, and represents their second-best season in club history behind only the 2003\/04 invincibles (90 points). Still, it wasn’t quite enough to topple Guardiola’s machine.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, this is an Arsenal side that only appears to be growing under Mikel Arteta and one their fans can be proud of. Who have been the standout performers this time around? Here are their full player ratings from the 2023\/24 Premier League campaign.<\/p>\n

    David Raya – 7.5\/10 –\u00a0<\/strong>Raya has definitely brought more value with the ball at his feet rather than his shot-stopping ability. Yet, you simply cannot ignore his Golden Glove and total of 16 clean sheets, which accounts for half of his Premier League appearances this season.<\/p>\n

    Aaron Ramsdale – 3.5\/10 –\u00a0<\/strong>Ramsdale is the man who has had to sit in the shadows following Raya’s arrival. What happens next for him remains to be seen, but he’ll not be happy with losing his place.<\/p>\n

    Oleksandr Zinchenko – 6\/10 –\u00a0<\/strong>Zinchenko looked great once again early in the campaign but as it has gone on, the Ukrainian has come under fire for his defensive abilities. He now finds himself out of the starting XI more often than not and faces an uncertain summer.<\/p>\n

    Ben White – 8\/10 –\u00a0<\/strong>White has enjoyed another excellent season, providing great value on both sides of the ball down the right flank and filling in at his old centre-back position whenever needed. White has made himself a fan favourite at the Emirates, pocketing a number of elite wingers this season.<\/p>\n

    Takehiro Tomiyasu – 6\/10 –<\/strong> Tomiyasu remains incredibly popular, always giving his best and turning in solid performances whenever called upon. Injuries haven’t helped him this season, but the Japan international had a nice moment with a goal in Arsenal’s 2-1 win over Everton on the final day.<\/p>\n

    Jakub Kiwior – 6.5\/10 – <\/strong>Kiwior’s spell filling in at left-back in February and early March was quite remarkable, with the Polish defender enjoying a run of one goal and three assists in five league appearances. He has otherwise been a bit-part player, filling in across the backline whenever Arteta has needed him, but he’s done the job well.<\/p>\n

    Gabriel Magalhaes – 8.5\/10 –\u00a0<\/strong>While Saliba understandably takes most of the credit in the Arsenal backline, spare some praise for Gabriel, who actually outperforms the Frenchman in most metrics and for that reason, may even be classed as an ‘underrated’ player.<\/p>\n

    William Saliba – 8.5\/10 –\u00a0<\/strong>Even so, there’s no getting away from just how elite Saliba is. Without him, Arsenal can turn into a shambolic mess. Saliba just has that intangible quality of calming down those around him and providing assured leadership.<\/p>\n

    Declan Rice – 9.5\/10 –\u00a0<\/strong>You have to wonder if Rice even knew he had a \u00a3100m price tag over his head when he arrived at Arsenal this summer. The former West Ham captain has been a transformative presence at the base of Arteta’s midfield, with seven goals and eight assists not even coming close to telling the story of a player who has controlled possession, put out defensive fires and done everything else in between.<\/p>\n

    Thomas Partey – 3\/10 –\u00a0<\/strong>Rice thriving has done little to help Partey’s chances of playing for Arsenal. Granted, the Ghana international has struggled with injuries this time around but even when he has come into the side, he’s not looked at his old, composed, combative self. You have to wonder if he still has a place at the Emirates.<\/p>\n

    Jorginho – 6.5\/10 –\u00a0<\/strong>Jorginho has proven himself a much more astute back-up to Rice and has often provided stability just at the point when things are getting most chaotic in games throughout this season. Age is no longer on Jorginho’s side but his precision passing and calming presence continue to make him invaluable.<\/p>\n

    Martin Odegaard – 9\/10 – <\/strong>“Odegaard is mesmerising at the moment, I think he’s become the best in that position in terms of the way in which he plays,” said Gary Neville following Arsenal’s 5-0 thrashing of Chelsea in April. Ending with eight goals and 10 assists in the Premier League alone, it’s hard to argue with Neville.<\/p>\n

    Since the start of the 2016\/17 season, only one player has won possession in the final third 40+ times in a single Premier League campaign:<\/p>\n

    \u25ce 49 – Martin \u00d8degaard (22\/23)
    \u25c9 41 – Martin \u00d8degaard (23\/24)<\/p>\n

    Now he's done it twice. \u270c\ufe0f pic.twitter.com\/D8Q60DeeW7<\/a><\/p>\n
