Premier League leaders Arsenal are arguably one of the surprise packages of the ongoing 2022-23 football campaign.

Manager Mikel Arteta has been able to transform his relatively young Gunners side into one of the most exciting teams in Europe. They are also in contention to win what will be a historic Premier League title as they sit five points clear at the top of the table.

The north London club's dominance in all competitions this season can be attributed to impressive performances from a handful of their first-team players.

Without further ado, this article will take a look at four Arsenal players who have registered the most goal contributions this season.
