Ian Wright says Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka is ‘world class’

Well, Arsenal hammered Burnley 5-0 away from home at Turf Moor in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Bukayo Saka was the star of the show. The 22-year-old England international scored two goals, the first from the penalty spot in the first half and the second in the opening minutes of the second period.

Arsenal legend Ian Wright was following the match, and he was impressed by the display produced by Saka.

As you can see, Wright was also impressed with Martin Odegaard, who is back in form for Arsenal now.

My View: Bukayo Saka is a gem

In my opinion, Arsenal and England international winger Bukayo Saka is one of the best young players around and is a gem of a footballer.

Saka is only 22, but he is one of the most consistent players around. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta thinks that it is really strange but in a good way.

The winger always delivers. You hardly see him struggle in a game. Saka has scored 12 goals and given seven assists in 24 Premier League matches this season.

The 22-year-old has also found the back of the net three times and has provided four assists in five UEFA Champions League matches for the North London club this campaign.
