Arsenal youngster Bukayo Saka has told the Premier League’s official Youtube channel that he feels his best position is in attack.
Saka has been used all across the field since breaking into the first-team at Arsenal.
The teenager has played at left-back, central midfield and down both flanks.
His versatility is a major asset, but Saka says that is in the forward areas that he feels most comfortable.
“I always say that my best position is in the attacking line, whether that’s on the line or attacking midfield,” Saka said. “That’s my favourite position to play and also my best position to play in.”
Saka is currently being deployed down the right hand side for Arsenal by Mikel Arteta.
He has worked well in tandem with Nicolas Pepe, who has shone down the left flank, with Pierre Emerick Aubameyang out injured.
Saka looks likely to continue to start in Arsenal’s next match, which comes against Leeds United on Sunday.
Saka’s pace and ability to drive forward in possession could be crucial in the contest, as Leeds are a side who leave gaps on the counter, which the youngster may be able to exploit.
