“Top 5 Most Improved Arsenal Players of the 2023/24 Season”

Kai Havertz: In his debut season with Arsenal following a £65 million move from Chelsea, Havertz has consistently been a standout performer. His versatility and agility make him a vital asset, whether playing in midfield, on the wings, or as a central striker. Arsenal’s success owes much to the contributions of this 24-year-old talent.

Jorginho: Jorginho’s impact since joining Arsenal in January 2023 may have been initially understated. However, this season has seen the Italian international rediscover his best form, forming a formidable partnership with Declan Rice. Despite being 32 years old, Jorginho has demonstrated his class, mirroring his performances from Chelsea’s Champions League triumph and Italy’s EURO 2020 victory.
-
David Raya: Raya has made significant strides since his time at Brentford, particularly during the 2022-23 season. Although Arteta’s decision to select Raya over Aaron Ramsdale initially raised eyebrows, the Spanish goalkeeper has justified his selection. Raya’s calm demeanor under pressure and precise distribution have played a crucial role in Arsenal’s overall improvement.

Bukayo Saka: Saka’s extraordinary potential and remarkable ability to create breakthroughs have been evident throughout the season. This campaign feels like the one where the English star has truly elevated himself to global stardom. With his exceptional technique and ambidextrous skills, the 22-year-old winger has been instrumental, contributing 18 goals and 14 assists across all competitions.

Kiwior Jakub: Jakub may have been one of the most underrated players in the Premier League, but his progress since joining Arsenal is undeniable. Despite a slow start after arriving from Spezia in January 2023, the 24-year-old Polish player has seized his opportunities, becoming a crucial figure in Arsenal’s defensive line. While he needs improvement in linking up with the midfield, his defensive contributions have been invaluable.
As Arsenal continues to lead the Premier League table, the performances of these five players have been pivotal in their success this season, highlighting their significant growth and development under manager Mikel Arteta.
