Gary Neville has raved about Arsenal star Bukayo Saka on his podcast after watching him in action against Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League.
Arsenal won 3-2 against Liverpool in North London on Sunday evening.
Saka, who can operate as a midfielder, winger or left-back, scored two goals.
The 21-year-old England international found the back of the net in first-half injury time.
Saka then scored in the second half from the penalty spot.
And former Manchester United star Neville was impressed.

Neville said about Saka: “He is a big talent, tough kid. When you watch him, it just looks like he wants the ball all the time.
“He is enthusiastic, he brings life to the crowd, he sparks the crowd, everything that you would want in a young wide player, he works back, he is tenacious. He is a really really good player, he is a fantastic player.”
Exciting talent
In our view, Bukayo Saka is one of the best young players around and is a key figure at Arsenal.
When fit and available, Saka is one of the first names on Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta’s teamsheet.
The 21-year-old scores goals, creates chances, takes penalties, tracks back, works hard and never shies away from getting the ball.
Saka is a gem of a footballer, and Arsenal are a better team with him in it.
The youngster has scored three goals and provided four assists in nine Premier League matches for Arsenal so far this season.
Saka will have a big role to play for Arsenal this season, as the Gunners aim for Premier League and UEFA Europa League glory.
