Five Gunners nominated for Ballon d'Or awards

Five Arsenal players are in the running to win the 2024 Ballon d'Or after being nominated for the male and female awards.

The annual prize, widely seen as the game’s most prestigious individual award, sees journalists from around the world cast their votes to crown the best player. It has been awarded to men since 1956, while the women's award has been going since 2018.

For the second year in a row, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard have been shortlisted, and this time they have been joined by Declan Rice and William Saliba.

Meanwhile, recent arrival Mariona Caldentey is a contender for the Women's Ballon d'Or.
