Voting is now open for our final Player of the Month poll – but which of the four contenders will you opt for?<\/p>\n
May was a month to remember as we ended our 22-year wait for the Premier League title, as well as playing only our second ever Champions League final in Budapest.<\/p>\n
We’ve picked out four stars who signed off the season with a bang for you to choose from – here are your contenders!<\/p>\n
DAVID RAYA<\/p>\n
David Raya has been a symbol of consistency in 2025\/26, and May was no different.<\/p>\n
The Spaniard produced an incredible save to deny Matheus Fernandes from close range during our crucial 1-0 win over West Ham United at the London Stadium.<\/p>\n
David also picked up his third straight Premier League Golden Glove award, keeping 19 clean sheets in our league season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The goalkeeper showed his composure during the Champions League final, as well as thwarting Nuno Mendes during the penalty shootout.<\/p>\n
BUKAYO SAKA<\/p>\n
Bukayo Saka started May in electric form, producing a fine assist for Viktor Gyokeres in our 3-0 victory over Fulham.<\/p>\n
In a rampant first half, Bukayo also got his name on the scoresheet as we surged into a three-goal lead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Our number 7 showed why he’s a big-game player, scoring the only goal in our 1-0 victory over Atletico Madrid to send us to the Champions League final.<\/p>\n
KAI HAVERTZ<\/p>\n
Kai Havertz’s found the net on two occasions in May, and they were two massive goals.<\/p>\n
His first, a towering header from a Bukayo Saka corner to give us a 1-0 win over Burnley, a result which ultimately led to us becoming Premier League champions 24 hours later.<\/p>\n
His second came in the Champions League final, rifling into the roof of the net after just six minutes against Paris Saint-Germain. Kai also picked up the final assist of the season in the Premier League, setitng up Noni Madueke in our 2-1 win over Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n
VIKTOR GYOKERES<\/p>\n
Viktor Gyokeres got a memorable May off to the perfect start when he found the net twice in our 3-0 first half demolition of Fulham.<\/p>\n
After tapping home from Bukayo Saka’s cross, the Swede rose highest to nod home Leandro Trossard’s cross with ease to set us on our way.<\/p>\n
Viktor also had a huge part to play in our 1-0 Champions League semi-final victory over Atletico Madrid. Having scored in the first leg, Viktor picked up Trossard who was able to get his shot away that fell for Saka to convert.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His tireless work up top gave us the platform to win on a memorable night in N5.<\/p>\n
