Jarrod Bowen has said that Arsenal poster-child Bukayo Saka is the player in the Premier League he admires the most alongside Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
At just 21 years of age, the youngster is already becoming an inspiration to fellow pros due to the level he has operated at in the last few years.
The fact that Jarrod Bowen, who is five years older than Bukayo Saka rates him as highly as he does is testament to the Arsenal winger’s brilliance.
Jarrod Bowen raves about Bukayo Saka
The Hale End graduate has had an exceptional campaign for the Gunners, with 13 goals and 11 assists to his name so far.
While the way Mikel Arteta’s side have collapsed at the end of the season is likely to grab the headlines, the manner in which the wonderkid led his club’s title charge should not be swept under the carpet.
West Ham United wideman Jarrod Bowen has said that alongside Mohamed Salah, Arsenal superstar Bukayo Saka is the player he looks up to the most in the Premier League.
“Bukayo at Arsenal as well. I had the honour to play with him at England and saw how good he was. This season he’s been phenomenal. So those two are the ones for me with the numbers they produce and the quality they play at”, he was quoted saying by the Evening Standard.
Arsenal should tie him down to a new contract as soon as possible
While it seems like only a matter of time until Bukayo Saka signs a new contract with Arsenal, the deal must get over the line, as other senior pros, just like Jarrod Bowen would love to see them at their clubs.
And perhaps every side in the English top-flight would be happy to put the money on the table and secure Saka’s services.
Be it end product, 1v1 ability or his overall influence on a game; the boy has it all and the world would aim to prise him away from Arsenal, which is why it’s high-time that the long-term deal is made official.
