Arsenal’s new Rising Stars 1 – Bukayo Saka (Plus Video)

He is predominantly a left winger although can play anywhere in the front three. Bukayo made 34 appearances across all competitions last season, scoring 14 and assisting 12, and earned the right to train with the first team. In his first big game against Eintracht Frankfurt he scored his first goal and provided two assists in a man of the match performance.
