His 22 league goals this season were not, however, enough to see him selected as one of the nominees for Premier League Player of the Season, the Premier League opting to go for a mostly English list, naming Danny Ings ahead of the Arsenal man.

Alexandre Lacazette picked up the award last season when he collected 35% of the vote but there was no close contest this year.

Bernd Leno was named runner-up.
