Premier League announce Player of the Month nominees — no Arsenal stars included

Premier League have officially announced the six nominees for the Player of the Month award for August.

The shortlist includes Taiwo Awoniyi (Nottingham Forest), Jarrod Bowen (West Ham), James Maddison (Tottenham), Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford), Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton), and Rodri (Manchester City).

Even though Arsenal have won three out of their first four games of the 2023/24 campaign (drawing one), not a single Emirates player has made the cut.

There is, however, some recognition for the Gunners as Bukayo Saka is nominated for Goal of the Month and Mikel Arteta is up for Manager of the Month.
