# Arsenal: Fans react to Bukayo Saka’s Kopa Trophy nomination

**Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has been [nominated](https://www.arsenal.com/news/saka-nominated-2021-kopa-trophy) for the 2021 Kopa Trophy award, and** **as to be expected, a number of Gunners fans were quick to react to the news on social media.**

The 20-year-old, who [netted](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10072785/Andorra-vs-England-World-Cup-2022-qualifier-Live-Result.html) for England in a 5-0 win over Andorra on Saturday night, is one of 10 players under the age of 21 to be shortlisted for the award.

Kylian Mbappe and Matthijs de Ligt are [previous winners](https://www.arsenal.com/news/saka-nominated-2021-kopa-trophy) of the Kopa Trophy, with Saka [up against](https://twitter.com/afcstuff/status/1446514202361962502) the likes of Manchester United’s Mason Greenwood, Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham and Barcelona’s Pedri.

The Gunners gem will find out the result on [December 3](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/7444142/ballon-dor-kopa-trophy-nominated-france-football-award/), with every Ballon d’Or holder still alive choosing the winner.
