The winners will be announced during the ceremony. The judging panel will be BBC Sports Editor, Pete Stevens, former Tottenham and England player, Martin Chivers, former West Ham forward, Tony Cottee, Sky Sports presenter, Jane Dougall and former Tottenham and England defender, Ledley King, along with many more.
An Arsenal spokesperson told City News: “We’re delighted to have four players nominated for the London Football Awards. The awards are organised by The Arsenal Foundation’s charity partner Willow, who create uplifting special days for seriously ill young adults. So it’s great to be involved.”
Across North London, Tottenham players Dele Ali, Hugo Lloris, Danny Rose and manager Mauricio Pochettino have all scored nominations for this years’ edition of the Awards. Pochettino won this award last year.
The nominees are:
Premier League Player of the Year
N’Golo Kanté (Cheslea) | Dele Alli (Tottenham) | Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal) | Diego Costa (Chelsea) | Danny Rose (Tottenham)
English Football League Player of the Year
Scott Hogan (former Brentford) | Tom Cairney (Fulham) | John Akinde (Barnet) | Alex Smithies (QPR) | Sone Aluko (Fulham)
Women’s Player of the Year
Eniola Aluko (Chelsea) | Jordan Nobbs (Arsenal) | Karen Carney (Chelsea) | Katie Chapman (Chelsea) | Danielle Carter (Arsenal)
Community Project of the Year
Fulham – Feltham Young Offenders Institute | Crystal Palace – Powerchair Football | Leyton Orient – DCD Football
Manager of the Year
Antonio Conte (Chelsea) | Mauricio Pochettino (Tottenham) | Neil Harris (Millwall) | Neal Ardley (AFC Wimbledon) | Slavisa Jokanovic (Fulham)
Young Player of the Year (under 23)
Dele Alli (Tottenham) | Hector Bellerin (Arsenal) | Ademola Lookman (former Charlton) | Ryan Sessegnon (Fulham) | Alex Iwobi (Arsenal)
London Goalkeeper of the Year
Hugo Lloris (Tottenham) | Thibaut Courtois (Chelsea) | Alex Smithies (QPR) | Darren Randolph (West Ham) | Jordan Archer (Millwall)
The Outstanding Contribution to a London Club has no shortlist and the winner will be unveiled on the night of the ceremony itself.
The event will raise funds for Willow, the only national charity providing Special Days for seriously ill 16-40 year olds. With £210,000 raised last season, they will be hoping to top that sum.
The charity’s founder, former Arsenal goalkeeper Bob Wilson will be one of the judges and said that this year he felt Chelsea had warranted their largely dominating nominations and equally Dele Alli more than deserved to feature in both of the Player categories.
Speaking about the young player Wilson said: ‘Alli is one of those players who has blossomed. He is not scared of playing with gifted players. It is difficult for a young player to sustain it, but with Alli, he hasn`t just matched it, he is getting better. He is like a ghost in the box. He sees things brilliantly and then when he`s delivered something to create a move, he can drift into areas to produce an end product.’
City News spoke with Barnet FC player, and League Two’s top scorer John Akinde, who is nominated for English Football League player of the year.
