Jamie O’Hara has said on talkSPORT that Arsenal star Bukayo Saka does not get the credit that he deserves.

The former Tottenham Hotspur star made the comments about Saka after watching him in action for Arsenal against Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium in North London in the Premier League this past weekend.

The England international, who can operate as a midfielder, winger or full-back, scored two goals for Mikle Arteta’s side.

Arsenal won the Premier League match against Liverpool 3-2.

And former Tottenham star and talkSPORT pundit O’Hara was impressed by the 21-year-old.

Jamie O’Hara on Arsenal star Bukayo Saka

O’Hara said: “They are the real deal and as much as I want to criticise them, they play on the front foot, they go after teams.

“Martinelli is absolutely fantastic, Jesus is a leader, Saka doesn’t get the credit that he deserves and they’re just a really solid team.”

Huge talent

In our view, Bukayo Saka is a huge talent and is one of the best players at Arsenal.

The 21-year-old has been a regular for the Arsenal first team for a while now and is one of the first names on the teamsheet when he is fit and available.

Now, much has been made of Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli, and maybe Saka is not being given much attention in the media and by the wider public, but we have no doubt that Arsenal fans rate him highly.
