He has been outstanding for us.”

Saka has been a shining light for Arsenal during this fantastic period and his brilliant performances haven’t gone unacknowledged by fans and pundits alike. The 21-year-old has scored seven goals and recorded eight assists For The Gunners in the Premier League this season, which has propelled them into the first position on the Premier League table.
