Originally posted on Just Arsenal | By Admin Martin | Last updated May 21, 2025 4:00 AM ET

Arsenal have been one of the most impressive sides in both the Premier League and the Champions League this season, and it may come as a surprise to many neutrals that the club will finish the campaign without any silverware. Despite their high-quality performances, the Gunners will end the term without a trophy to show for their efforts.

With a squad featuring some of the best players across multiple positions in both domestic and European competition, Arsenal had a realistic chance of securing honours on either front. Their consistency and tactical evolution under Mikel Arteta have been widely praised, yet the ultimate goal has again narrowly eluded them.

Arsenal’s Continued Pursuit of Domestic Glory

By the conclusion of this season, Arsenal will have finished second in the Premier League table for a third consecutive year. While this consistency reflects well on the team’s overall progress, it falls short of supporters’ expectations. Fans are eager to see the club finally secure the title, and anticipation will only grow ahead of the next campaign.

Despite the disappointment of missing out on silverware, several players have received recognition for their contributions. As reported by Arsenal Media, five Arsenal stars have been named among the 60 nominees for the Premier League Fans’ Team of the Season. David Raya, William Saliba, Gabriel, Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka are all in contention for a place in the prestigious line-up.

Recognition for Arsenal’s Core Performers

These five players have consistently delivered high-level performances throughout what has been one of the most challenging seasons in recent years. Each of them has played a crucial role in maintaining Arsenal’s title challenge and securing their place among the top clubs in Europe.

The nominations are a deserved acknowledgement of their individual excellence, although it is clear that the players would have preferred to cap the season with a major trophy. There is no doubt, however, that their inclusion reflects the strength and depth of Arsenal’s squad.

While personal accolades are commendable, the collective ambition remains unchanged. With continued development and targeted reinforcements, Arsenal will be aiming to return stronger next season and finally achieve the success their recent efforts have promised.
