Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has raved about Arsenal star Bukayo Saka on the Reds’s YouTube channel ahead of the Premier League match against Mikel Arteta’s side at the Emirates Stadium this weekend.

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal will take on Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool in North London in the Premier League on Sunday.

Ahead of the game at the Emirates Stadium, Klopp has raved about the 21-year-old England international, who can operate as a winger, left-back or midfielder.

Encouraging

In our view, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp praising Bukayo Saka shows just how good the Arsenal player is.

Saka is a very consistent player who has established himself as a regular in the Arsenal first team.

And he is only 21.

It is really encouraging for Arsenal and England that they have a 21-year-old attacking player who could develop into an ever better footballer.

Saka has made eight starts in the Premier League for Arsenal so far this season.

The 21-year-old has scored one goal and given four assists in those matches.

The England international has also played 52 minutes in the UEFA Europa League for the Gunners so far this campaign.
