Bukayo Saka
Having started his early Arsenal career as an attack-minded left-back, today Bukayo Saka is one of their most prominent players in attack. Capable of playing on either wing with gusto and flair, the 19-year-old has quickly become one of the most important players at Arsenal.
However, despite his rapid rise to the top, it is the rounded nature of his game that ensures that Saka stands out as one of the most complete young players in England at the moment. How far could the youngster go?
What makes Bukayo Saka worth watching?
Despite not being an out and out natural forward, Saka has contributed an impressive 11 goals this year in all competitions. IN doing so, he has taken over 2 shots per game and tends to take the opponent on with aggressive, consistent dribbling. His ability to play in numerous roles within the team, too, is veery impressive. He has even played in the centre of the park a few times, offering Arsenal a versatile youngster who can attack from all angles.
By far and away his best position, though, has been on the right-hand side of attack, transforming the way that Gunners push forward. Really, his ability to attack, play one-twos, dribble past opponents, take opportune shots, and win set pieces is hugely impressive.
Things to improve for Bukayo Saka
For Saka, the main weakness definitely stems from staying in the game. He can flit out the game, to be expected at 19, but also tends to commit the crime of fading out of games quite badly on the defensive end. While this can be improved over time, it is the primary concern for the player.
If Saka can become more consistent defensively then he definitely stands a chance of being a quality box-to-box wide option for Arsenal for a long time to come.
