Arsenal trio Bukayo Saka, Beth Mead and Vivienne Miedema send Ballon d'Or 2022 message

Arsenal trio Beth Mead, Vivienne Miedema and Bukayo Saka have announced that they're on their way to Paris for the Ballon d'Or ceremony. The Gunners stars have urged fans to follow how they get on via social media as they look to be victorious in their respective categories.

Mead is one of three Lionesses who made the shortlist, with Millie Bright and Lucy Bronze also in contention to become the newest Feminin Ballon d'Or winner. Miedema is also on the 20-player shortlist, though Alexia Putellas of Barcelona Femeni - who missed this summer's European Championships through injury - is favourite to take home the prestigious award.

Saka, on the other hand, is on the 10-man shortlist for the Kopa Trophy, given to the best men's Under-21s player. Barcelona's Pedri and Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham will be looking to stop him from winning, though.
