Micah Richards has expressed his admiration of Arsenal and England international star Bukayo Saka in The Daily Mail.
The former Manchester City star has been impressed by how well Saka has done for Arsenal and how much he has progressed over the past 18 months.
The 21-year-old could not convert his penalty for England in the Euro 2020 final against Italy.
England lost.
Saka is a very young player, but the hugely talented and promising footballer can bounced back from that disappointment with England and has established himself as one of the key figures at Arsenal.
The Englishman is a regular on the right of a front-three for Arsenal, who are at the top of the Premier League table at the moment.
The Gunners are five points clear of second-placed and defending champions Manchester City.
Arsenal have also progressed to the knockout rounds of the UEFA Europa League.
Saka has scored four goals and given six assists in 14 Premier League matches for Arsenal so far this season.
The 21-year-old Arsenal no. 7 has also scored one goal in six UEFA Europa League games for the North London club so far this campaign.

“Look at the way he takes pressure penalties for Arsenal and the performances he has produced. His case to be included in the starting line-up is compelling.”
