His underlying numbers back it up too - an XGI per 90 of 0.64 speaks to constant involvement. He may not be firing double-digit hauls weekly, but his reliability makes him a steady, captaincy-safe pick. In a season full of chaos and rotation, consistency is gold - and Saka delivers it week after week. Liverpool at home might not scream "buy", but they've been vulnerable to chances from the right-wing channel, which suits Saka perfectly.
Arsenal's star winger, Bukayo Saka, has offered a surprising and glowing tribute to former teammate Mesut Ozil, naming the German playmaker as the best player he has ever played alongside. The endorsement from the 24-year-old, who has shared the pitch with the likes of Harry Kane, Declan Rice, Phil Foden, for England, underscores the unique and undeniable genius of the retired midfielder.
I would love that, he said. From everything that I know, again he's a player that is extremely happy and proud to be [here] and to have the role that he has in the football club. He's been developing in a natural way like they always do. Everyone knows how important Bukayo is for us so hopefully we can do it.
