Thierry Henry has said that the one player he is looking forward to watch the most in the much-awaited showdown between Arsenal and Man City is Bukayo Saka.
The ‘unique’ £70,000-a-week winger has been in terrific touch throughout the season for Mikel Arteta’s side, with even Pep Guardiola referring to him as ‘dangerous’ in City’s 1-0 win in the FA Cup clash between both sides.
Now, Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has broken down why he cannot wait to discover how Bukayo Saka against Man City.
Thierry Henry says he is looking forward to seeing Bukayo Saka the most as Arsenal host Man City
Thierry Henry told Amazon Prime Video Sport, “There’s so many players that I’m actually looking forward to seeing in that game [Arsenal vs Man City]. But I’m going to have to mention Bukayo Saka. Why? Because the way he came back from the Euros, missing that penalty. He never looked back since.”
“And I just think that, I want the team to win and all of that but I want him to play well in that game, to play well up until the end of the season and to be that player that can decide games. You understand what I mean?”
“I said it the other day, I was on Amazon, obviously doing the West Ham game against West Ham and I said, ‘big players are not nice.’ If you want to be big, if you want to be the guy, big players are not nice.”
This most important game for Arsenal Saka has ever played
While the ‘special’ England international has been involved in and decided a number of big games, it does not get any bigger than Wednesday night’s clash.
As Thierry Henry implied, if Bukayo Saka can step up for Arsenal against Man City, he could well have decided the Premier League title race once and for all.
The hope remains from a Gunners perspective that the ‘unbelievable’ 21-year-old is at his threatening best against the Sky Blues.
