BBC Sport pundit Stephen Warnock has raved about Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka for his durability.
The former Liverpool player has said on BBC Sport that despite getting kicked during matches, Arsenal and England international winger Bukayo Saka just gets on with it.
Warnock made the comments about Saka while praising him for creating a new Premier League record.
The £200,000-a-week winger (The Telegraph) started for Arsenal against Fulham at the Emirates Stadium in North London in the Premier League this past weekend.
Praise for Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka
Saka has now played 83 matches in a row in the Premier League.
The 21-year-old has broken the record previously held by former Arsenal and Aston Villa star Paul Merson.
Warnock said: “Bukayo Saka’s appearance record is a testament to his professionalism and durability.
“He gets kicked from pillar to post at times and just bounces right back up and gets on with it.
“When you watch him you can just see that he loves football, never wants to miss a game, and is always looking to contribute to the team and what they are building under Mikel Arteta.”
Bukayo Saka is one of the best young wingers in the world, and it is remarkable that he is only 21.
Just 21, and the winger is already a regular for Arsenal and England.
Just imagine how good Saka will be in three or four years’ time.
It is scary.
We believe that Saka has the potential to become world class in the coming years.
Saka has made 138 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
The youngster has scored 33 goals and given 26 assists in those games.
