Arsenal gossip
10) Francis Coquelin – 9687m
A terrific young midfielder, Francis Coquelin certainly does his job shielding the defence well enough, perhaps not requiring too much running at the moment due to his positioning.
9) Danny Welbeck – 9918m
A hard-worker upfront, Danny Welbeck will want to add more goals to his game next season but makes it into this top ten with his distance covered.
8) Olivier Giroud – 9922m
Not an obvious one for this top ten, but Olivier Giroud is another high ranking Arsenal player for his workrate upfront.
7) Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – 9967m
A player who really puts a shift in down the right-hand side, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain comes 7th in this list based on numbers this season.
6) Mesut Ozil – 10,048m
Often accused of not working hard enough, Mesut Ozil clearly does do the running required as he comes in sixth on this list.
5) Calum Chambers – 10,153m
A promising young player who has done well in a number of defensive positions, Calum Chambers is the fifth hardest worker at Arsenal.
4) Hector Bellerin – 10,197m
Unsurprisingly for an attack-minded full-back, Hector Bellerin ranks high on this list after his marauding displays this season.
3) Santi Cazorla – 10,404m
A player who combines great energy with superb skill, it’s easy to see why Santi Cazorla has been one of the Gunners’ best players this season.
2) Aaron Ramsey – 11,210m
In second place is midfielder Aaron Ramsey, who does well to cover box to box in his role in Arsene Wenger’s side.
1) Mathieu Flamini 11,731m
Well known for being a real workhorse in midfield, Mathieu Flamini makes it into first place based on his stats when used this season.
