Curtis Woodhouse has said on Twitter that Arsenal and England international star Bukayo Saka is not an outstanding player.

The former former Sheffield United and Birmingham City midfielder has said that Saka is a good player, but he does not think that the Arsenal and England star is brilliant or outstanding.

The former Premier League player made the comments about the 21-year-old before the 2022 Qatar World Cup Round of 16 tie between England and Senegal on Sunday.

Saka started the match and scored in the 57th minute.

England won 3-0 and will face France in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

Gem of a player

In our view, Bukayo Saka is one of the best young players and is a key figure for Arsenal and England.

And he is only 21.

How many 21-year-old players are regulars for big clubs such as Arsenal and for major footballing nations such as England?

Yes, of course, Saka needs to improve his game and develop even more, but what he has done so far in his career suggests that he will do that and become world class in the next few years.
