Martin Keown suggests Arsenal duo are already battling for Player of the Year

Arsenal pair Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli are already battling for the Player of the Year award, according to Martin Keown.

The duo have been integral to the Gunners' impressive start to the campaign, which sees them sat top of the Premier League. They've also won all three of their Europa League group games as they look to secure safe passage into the knockout stages - their latest success owing to a Saka goal against Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt.

Saka, an academy graduate, and Martinelli, signed from Brazil as a teenager, have long been tipped for big things but are now regulars under Mikel Arteta. Between them they scored all three of Arsenal's goals as they saw off Liverpool on Sunday - Saka notching the winner from the spot.
