Martin Keown was delighted to watch Bukayo Saka deliver a top performance for Arsenal in the Champions League last night and believes he is the best in Europe now.
The attacker scored and provided an assist in the 6-0 win and became the first Arsenal player to do so in three consecutive Champions League home games.
Saka keeps improving and always gives a reason why he should remain Arsenal’s main man.
The Englishman will be eyeing European glory as the Gunners have been terrific when they play at home in the competition.
After his masterclass against Lens, Keown said, as quoted by the Daily Mail:
‘This is their first season for a lot of these young players. Looking at Saka we’re talking about the assists and the goals he scores – the best in Europe right now.
‘That was really a message from Arsenal. I know they’re in their own back garden and Man City is there too – the best team in Europe right now. But who’s the next best? Is it Liverpool? Is it Arsenal? And who is it in Europe.’
Just Arsenal Opinion
Saka is one of the world’s top players, and we are blessed to have the Englishman on our books.
The attacker will keep improving and he might be our key to success in a competition this term.
But we are still very much in the first half of the season and he has to be very consistent to help bring success to North London.

This kid have the world at his feet and I will tell you why.
His skills sets are unique, he can be classified as a rear breed of technical football players who plays between the line.
He has brilliant close control and dribbling ability.
Happy on either wings but thrive in space, his unique ability to receive the ball on the half turn between the lines more often than not leave defenders in wonder land.
Seems a happy and sheltered kid with no drama to contend with.
Everything Keown saw in Saka, Martinelli did twice better. If they keep undermining the boy and underrating his world class performances, they’re going to destroy him.
That’s it Malapo i also thought Martineli was by far a better player than Saka in that game, Saka did play well also.
Who exactly is undermining and underrating Martinelli? Who are ‘they’?
Mohlanka Molapo I’ll be honest with you, regardless of how good you think Martinelli is, Saka is better. Saka is the second best winger in the league after Salah. Saka knows when to dribble when to Cross and when to shoot, he doesn’t hold onto the ball unnecessarily. I love Martinelli but is just like Salah and mane then at Liverpool, mane is a hardworker like Martinelli but Salah is better just like Saka. Even when Saka is not playing well he always comes out with a world class assist.
Lenohappy Saka played the whole game against city he never scored nor assisted but guess who come on in the second half and scored the always underated Martineli and the scapegoat Haverzt provide the assist,Saka is a good player but not at the level of Salah to be sincere Salah gives Liverpool 30 plus goals a season Saka needs to match that to be compared to him.
Saka did’nt play against City, not even in the squad.
Lenohappy, you’re right on that point they’re all good but really Saka is the best among the two stars for the reasons you’ve mentioned above you were right
You are 100% correct
Firstly Saka didn’t play against city, secondly I said it there in my post “Saka is the second best winger in the league after Salah”. I love Martinelli alot but he’s not on Saka level. Did you see all the records the kid has been broken. Bukayo Saka is the first player in Champions League history to score and assist in each of his first three home games, he has 17 goals/assist in 19 matches this season. Saka is one of the only 3 players from our team that can walk into any team in the world.
