Arsene Wenger is one of Arsenal’s most recognisable figures after spending two decades as the manager.
The Frenchman left the club in 2018 and Bukayo Saka was still not in the club’s first team at the time.
The attacker eventually broke into the team under Unai Emery and has remained a key player for them under Mikel Arteta.
The Spanish manager is enjoying the benefit of trusting the youngster with plenty of playing chances and it is a credit to the player for continuing to improve.
When Wenger visited the club last year and Saka had the opportunity to speak with the legendary manager. He did not miss the chance to learn something new.
Arsenal executive vice-chair Tim Lewis has now revealed what Saka asked of the Frenchman.
‘It was great to take Arsene down to the dressing room,’ Lewis told The Telegraph.
‘Bukayo [Saka] didn’t know him but he called him ‘boss’ immediately.
‘He said, ‘Boss, how can I improve?’ – [and] Arsene very dryly said, ‘I think you could use your right foot a bit more’.’
Just Arsenal Opinion
Saka has been one of our best players since he broke into our first team and he keeps getting better.
With this report, it is hardly a surprise why he keeps getting better, as he seems to be a player who ensures he learns from the best whenever he gets a chance to do so.

I love that respectful side of things, and from what everyone says, Saka is a gent.
It’s great that Wenger is still seen as an important figure with our young stars.
Cannot wait for the statue to go up, and hopefully see Wenger a lot more at the Emirates.
Wenger must be made one of the sporting directors for the gunners#we must not forget the man that made the gunners who we are today🎹 too my 👂
Its funny how the legendary Frenchman come to be nicknamed ” Petit’ which means small in French, when he stands at six feet and three inches.
How about “The Arsene Wenger Executive Suite” at the Emirates.
Wenger is a great symbol at the Emirates. infact were it not him, emirate stadium would have not been built. He really deserve to be recognized. On Saka, I think he is becoming the club heart. a very important talent that can transform the club to a significant level in future.
If eceryine had the same humbleness in them, the world would be a much better place.
Spread your wings even further Saka, what are role model you are to everyone, you are already a legend at The Arsenal.
If “everyone”!!
Nice to see arsene talking to bukayo to use his right football, he said the same thing to Van persie and it worked
