“Incredible role model” Jamie Redknapp heaps praise on Arsenal man

Jamie Redknapp has showered praise on Bukayo Saka after another stellar performance by the Arsenal winger in their match against West Ham. Saka’s contributions were crucial as he provided two assists, scored a goal, and even displayed his unselfish nature by allowing Martin Odegaard to take a penalty. The England international’s form continues to underline his importance to the Arsenal team, with their performance notably elevated whenever he is on the pitch.

Saka’s influence extends far beyond Arsenal’s dressing room. He has become a role model for young football fans and aspiring players due to his skill, intelligence, and demeanour both on and off the field. Speaking on Sky Sports during coverage of the West Ham match, Jamie Redknapp expressed admiration for Saka’s qualities and future potential:

“Saka is an incredible role model, so intelligent, knows the game inside out. The job he is doing, the improvements he is making and the level he can get to are frightening – because he can score goals, make goals and has great desire, he runs in behind and is so difficult to defend against.”

Redknapp’s words reflect the sentiment of many football observers who regard Saka as one of the brightest talents in the game. His ability to both score and create goals, combined with his work rate and footballing intelligence, makes him a nightmare for defenders. At just 23 years old, Saka still has the potential to grow even further, with the possibility of a decade or more at the top level.

Mikel Arteta, too, recognises Saka’s immense value to the team and knows Arsenal is fortunate to have a player of his calibre. The winger has grown into a vital cog in Arsenal’s system, often stepping up in crucial moments. His consistency and leadership on the field suggest he could be a cornerstone of the team for years to come.

Arsenal fans will undoubtedly hope that Saka spends his entire career at the Emirates, continuing to inspire with his exceptional performances and serving as a beacon of what a modern footballer should be. For now, they can revel in watching him light up the pitch game after game.

  1. There was a time in the not too distance passed when both Saka and Martineli were actually on the same level.

    The young Englishman has definitely up the ante in terms of sheer performance
