Arsenal central defender Gabriel has raved about his teammate Bukayo Saka to ESPN Brasil.
Gabriel has said that Arsenal winger Saka has been a revelation for the team, and has also mentioned Nicolas Pepe and Emile Smith Rowe among the players who are doing well at the club.
The 23-year-old Brazilian defender joined Arsenal from Lille in the summer of 2020 for a transfer fee reported by talkSPORT to be worth £27 million.
Gabriel told ESPN Brasil: “We are a team that, in my eyes and those of many too, we have a very high quality team, of young players and you see how Bukayo (Saka) is a revelation of the team.
“He is a very young player who now plays for England. We have Pepe, Emile (Smith Rowe), which now also returned to play. We have a very good team.”
Big player for Arsenal
Saka is one of the best young players in the Premier League and has been superb for the Gunners.
Also able to play as a left-back, the England international is now regularly deployed as a winger, and his importance to Mikel Arteta’s side cannot be understated at all.
According to WhoScored, Saka has made 25 starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League for Arsenal so far this season, scoring five goals and providing two assists in the process.
The winger has also made six starts and one substitute appearance in the Europa League for the Gunners this campaign, scoring two goals and providing three assists in the process, according to WhoScored.
