Saka and Pepe shortlisted for Arsenal Player of the Month award

Bukayo Saka and Nicolas Pepe have been nominated for the Arsenal Player of the Month award for June following their eye-catching displays.

Saka delivered a fine showing in the month under review, grabbing an assist in the Gunners’ defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion and played a key role in their victories against Southampton and Sheffield United.

The Anglo-Nigerian, who recently put pen to paper on a new deal, won the individual accolade in February before the coronavirus outbreak in March, which forced the Premier League into a hiatus.

The versatile player has played 33 games across all competitions in this campaign, to help the Gunners to their current eighth spot on the table.
