Bukayo Saka is receiving all kinds of praise after his superb performance for England against Ukraine.
The attacker is one player leading Arsenal towards winning the Premier League and a leading man for England.
For months he has been in superb form for the Gunners, but his performance for the Three Lions in the last game has earned him some new fans and more praise.
The latest individual to laud him is Chris Sutton, who insists he is the best right-winger in the world now.
He says via his column on the Daily Mail:
“But Saka is winning the battle on the right. Mohamed Salah has not been the same footballing force for Liverpool this season.
“Riyad Mahrez is incredibly talented for Manchester City, but I would rank Saka ahead of him.
“And I won’t be taking any suggestions of Antony seriously — the United man probably has Saka posters hanging on his bedroom wall!”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Saka has been in superb form for us in this campaign and it is significant that he is now being recognised globally.
Because he is one of the top men in the world now, he needs to manage the pressure that comes with that tag.
But Saka has the personality and skills to keep going and performing well.

‘The United man probably have a poster of Saka hanging on his bedroom wall’
I love that line.
That’s a huge call by Cris Sutton, he has long passed Raphinha.
And is now keeping company with the top top players.
I assume Sutton means better than Salah as he’s performing this season rather than at his very best. Starboy may yet reach that level, and another ten goals would nudge him there, but probably not quite yet, but I think he will, and very soon. And he’s already at least as good as Mahrez ever was.
I don’t think Bukayo Saka is better than Mo Salah at the moment but if he can continue with these performances then he can be considered in that level of Salah.
