Morgan Gibbs-White hails Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka as one of the best players in the world
Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White believes Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka is already one of the best players in the world. Saka played a key role in Arsenal’s push to win the Premier League title last season and has made another strong start to the current campaign with five goals and four assists in all competitions so far.
And Gibbs-White, who played in the same team as Saka for England Under-19s, claims the Arsenal winger has ‘mastered’ his position on the right flank under Mikel Arteta.
Gibbs-White: Saka is one of the best players in the world
‘Bukayo for me is at the minute one of the best players in the world,’ Gibbs-White said in an interview with the Premier League.
‘I just think with Bukayo, he doesn’t go out of his comfort zone, he knows what he’s good at, he’s mastered it and it works every time, cut inside on your left, boom, goal, he must practice it every single day in training.’
Saka injury concern ahead of Man City clash
Saka, meanwhile, has provided Arsenal with an injury concern this week ahead of their Premier League clash with Manchester City on Sunday. The 22-year-old was forced off in the first half of Arsenal’s 2-1 defeat to Lens in the Champions League on Tuesday evening.
Saka has been nursing an Achilles injury since the end of last season and Arteta has faced accusations of over-playing the winger after he was substituted late on in the 4-0 win against Bournemouth last Saturday.
However, it’s understood that Arsenal’s medical team have declared Saka fit enough to be available for City’s visit to the Emirates Stadium.
Conclusion
Morgan Gibbs-White is clearly a big fan of Bukayo Saka and believes he is one of the best players in the world. Saka has been a key player for Arsenal this season and will be hoping to help them to a victory over Manchester City this weekend. Despite suffering an injury scare this week, it appears that Saka will be fit enough to take part in the game.
