He looks younger than his 21 years, smooth-faced and almost angelic but don’t let it fool you. Bukayo Saka has the instincts of a killer, ready to pounce on the ball like a cat with a mouse – and his prowess on the pitch is making him one of the top players in the English Premier League.
The Arsenal midfielder scored a superb long-range goal in a recent match against Manchester United, making him only the third Gunners’ player in history to score against the Red Devils in three successive games.
Going into the match, Saka knew he could write his name next to Arsenal legends Thierry Henry and Freddie Ljungberg if he scored and he was ready to rise to the occasion.
