HITC Verdict: Starboy

In our view, Bukayo Saka is one of the best attacking players in the world and has been superb for Arsenal so far this season.

As Shearer notes, the youngster has steadily improved, and he is only 21.

Just imagine how good Saka will be in three or four years’ time.

What is remarkable about Saka is that he consistently plays well week in and week out.

Not many young players are able to do that.

Saka plays with a level of maturity that is beyond his years.

The 21-year-old has scored 12 goals and given 10 assists in 28 Premier League matches for Mikel Arteta’s side so far this season.
