Our young winger enjoyed another stellar season, finishing as our top scorer in both the Premier League (16) and all competitions (20) with career-best totals. He also contributed nine assists in the league and four in the Champions League to go with his four goals in Europe, captained the club for the first time in a 5-0 home win over Sheffield United and celebrated his 200th appearance the following month – the fourth-youngest player to reach that milestone for us.
The leading goalscorer, assister and appearance-maker in the current squad, he joined the club’s Hale End Academy at the age of eight and rose through the system before making his first-team debut at the age of 17.
He was named Arsenal Player of the Year in both 2021 and 2022, and won our Goal of the Season award last term for his strike against Nottingham Forest on the opening weekend.
A senior international since October 2020, he played in his second major tournament in 2022, scoring three goals at the Qatar World Cup as England reached the quarter-final. He represented his country again at Euro 2024, becoming Arsenal’s all-time leading scorer for the England national team when he netted against Switzerland in the quarter-final.
