Arsenal target Rafael Leao has posted a reaction to footage of Bukayo Saka following Wednesday’s 4-0 win.
What’s the story?
Well – according to Give Me Sport – the Gunners are keen to sign the Portugal international.
If that is true, then Arsenal fans will surely start to become giddy with excitement after Leao reacted to a video of Saka from Amazon Prime’s All or Nothing documentary.
Some supporters may remember this moment.
After Saka was racially abused in the aftermath of England’s EURO 2020 defeat to Italy, a young Arsenal fan called Teddy sent the 21-year-old his pocket money, and wrote him a letter attempting to cheer him up.
It touched the Arsenal No.7 so much that he invited Teddy to the Emirates Stadium, where he offered him an ice cream and had a kick about with him on the pitch.
You can see the heartwarming footage below, as well as Leao’s reaction to it.
The AC Milan No.17 may have only reacted in the form of emojis, but the crying faces suggest that he was left emotional by the video of Saka and Teddy, which is entirely understandable given the nature of the footage.
Leao and Saka would cause chaos at Arsenal
If Mikel Arteta and Edu did find a way to bring Leao to Arsenal, the £32m man has the potential to wreak havoc in attack alongside Saka, as well as the likes of Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli.
The Portuguese sensation often lines up on the left for AC Milan, where he has scored nine goals and also provided ten assists in 32 appearances so far this season.
Both Leao and Saka are utterly direct attackers, who possess raw pace, upper body strength and unerring finishing ability.
The Times believe Arteta wants a new winger at the Emirates Stadium this summer, so we wouldn’t be surprised if the AC Milan wonderkid does end up in north London.
