Gary Lineker has waxed lyrical about Arsenal poster boy Bukayo Saka, who was awarded the Young Player of The Year at the London Football Awards.
The £70,000-a-week phenomenon is having a remarkable season for Mikel Arteta’s side, with an impressive 10 goals and 9 assists to his name in the Premier League so far. In fact, the ‘fabulous’ winger is widely considered as the most in-form wide player in England this term.
As a result, when Bukayo Saka deservedly won the Young Player of The Year award at the London Football Awards, Gary Lineker, much like the rest of the football fraternity was all praises for the Arsenal forward.
Gary Lineker raves about Bukayo Saka for winning Young Player of The Year award at London Football Awards
Cesc Fabregas said that he sees himself in the 21-year-old, while Alan Shearer claimed that the wonderkid can reach the levels set by Manchester City maestro Kevin De Bruyne one day.
As Bukayo Saka unsurprisingly took home the Young Player of The Year Award at the London Football awards, Gary Lineker, who has created headlines recently in any case had plenty of kind words to say about him.
“An incredibly impressive young man and a wonderful footballer. Congratulations, Bukayo Saka”, he tweeted.
Bukayo Saka should be one of the main contenders to win the Player of the Year Award
Alongside the likes of Erling Haaland, Martin Odegaard and Harry Kane to name a few to win the award, the well-rounded winger should also be a strong candidate.
There is a case for the Hale End graduate to be the league leaders’ most important player, which tells you all you need to know.
If that doesn’t make a strong case for Bukayo Saka to win a single individual award other than the Young Player of the Year at the London Football Awards, then what does is the question that Gary Lineker and many would likely ask. And justifiably so.
