England legend Gary Lineker was full of praise for Arsenal ace Bukayo Saka after the youngster’s assist vs Everton.
The former Tottenham Hotspur star branded the makeshift left-back as a ‘very exciting young talent’ with his reaction to Saka’s assist during yesterday’s game.
Saka assisted fellow Arsenal academy graduate Eddie Nketiah in the 27th minute of yesterday afternoon’s clash.
The versatile ace’s dangerous cross into the box left Nketiah with the perfect opportunity to equalise for the Gunners.
Wonderful cross from the very exciting young talent that is Bukayo Saka. Expertly finished too by Eddie Nketiah.
