Arteta emphasized Saka and Ødegaard’s potential, citing their strong connection as crucial for Arsenal's success. He challenged them to reach the legendary chemistry of Barcelona's trio.
Describing Saka's and Ødegaard’s partnership, Arteta highlighted, "I've seen centre backs, I've seen midfielders... always think about Barcelona with Xavi, Busquets and Iniesta -- it was unbelievable."
Arteta acknowledged their impressive history, stating last season Ødegaard and Saka combined for 322 passes, with Ødegaard creating 40 open-play chances for Saka.
Jorginho's remarks on Saka suggest a bright future, asserting that at just 23 he could contend for the Ballon d'Or if he continues with strong self-belief.
