Aleksandar Mitrovic, Erling Haaland and James Maddison can all head into the World Cup break knowing they have been their respective clubs most impressive player so far this season. Deciphering that task among the current Arsenal squad however is far more tricky as there are several members of Mikel Arteta's squad who are having a great season.
Following his loan at Marseille last season William Saliba has been imperious in the Arsenal back line while Granit Xhaka's Gunners rejuvenation has been a joy to watch. Further up the pitch, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Martin Odegaard and even Gabriel Jesus all have reasonable claims to the title of best performer of the season thus far.
Martinelli and Jesus were rewarded for their glittering form, earning spots in Brazil's World Cup squad, while Xhaka was confirmed as captain of Switzerland's 26-man squad on Wednesday
