According to Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs White, Bukayo Saka is one of the top players in the world right now.
As Arsenal fans, we can’t argue with the claim that our No. 7 is the finest. We can only marvel at such assertions and tell ourselves that it’s about time they recognised our starboy for the player he is.
For years, the 22-year-old has dazzled football fans in our colors. We cannot deny how much we rely on him, and the fact that by last weekend, he had started in all of our last 85 Premier League games demonstrates how dependable he has been for us. If he doesn’t create chances for his teammates, he assists for their goals. If he doesn’t assist, he scores himself, and that’s not all, he takes on defenders and makes them have a bad day in the office. Gibbs White is no defender, but even he recognises Saka as a formidable foe, observing that our star boy has honed his art, knows exactly what he excels at, and must be sharpening it every time in training.
The Forest forward speaking on the Premier League YouTube channel said, “Bukayo for me is at the minute one of the best players in the world, and Erling Haaland speaks for himself,” Gibbs-White said.
“I just think with Bukayo, he doesn’t go out of his comfort zone. He knows what he’s good at, he’s mastered it, and it works every time -cut inside on the left, goal. He must practice it every single day in training.”
Saka is a pure talent; we can’t help but always talk about what wonderful things he’s done for us as a club or for the England Three Lions, where he’s established himself as the main man on the right wing.
Unfortunately, we may not be able to enjoy his services this weekend due to an injury he sustained against Lens in the Champions League 2-1 loss. Even if he misses the weekend game, the hope is that he will be well and ready to go after the international break; the fact that he made England’s team for the October internationals implies his injury isn’t too serious.
Fingers crosse4d he may even play on Sunday!

As a fan, and avid soccer follower I agree with Gibbs-White. Saka is good, but he could be great if he was to be bold enough to’get out of his comfort zone’. If only he could have the guts of Martinelli, and become spontaneous; try things he’s not done before, he would be the greatest now. He’s got it in him. He just needs to explore it.
Hi Jon it’s been a long Time….As usual very harsh on you’r fellow Arsenal fans!!i agree with you though Saka is a Dream footballer that every team wants to have :skilled, hard worker,humble and above all: a true gooner loving the club. Our very own Gerrard or Maldini….Iconic.
What has been a long time? I have been on JA consistently for many years.
I have seen your occasional post in recent times after you seemed to have left JA.
All are welcome on here, so if this is you announcing your “return”, then welcome back!
The New Robben…..
Things like what though. I’m sure Morgan has’nt seen saka effectively use the by line to either create,assist or score on numerous occassions. Poor observation if you ask me.
