Speaking on the Seaman Says Podcast, Olympic legend Mo Farah has been full of praise for Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka.
The four-time Olympic gold medalist certainly knows a thing or two about being an elite-level sportsman, but even he has been blown away by the impact Saka has been able to make at his age.
Farah is a die-hard Arsenal fan and he says he’s been so impressed by the 20-year-old.
What’s been said?
Farah was full of praise for Saka.
“I know, it’s nice to see him doing so well. I watch Arsenal, I have a season ticket and when I go watching you can see him making a difference with his confidence as a ball. You ask yourself as a sportsman what is going through his mind and how does he do it at that age? It’s one of those things where if you believe in yourself and your ability then you can go far and beyond,” Farah said.
Remarkable
If one of the greatest athletes TeamGB has ever seen is blown away by you then you must be a special talent.
To be honest, we can understand why Farah is so amazed by Saka. This lad burst onto the scene as a teenager and immediately looked like one of Arsenal’s best players.
His performances at Euro 2020 propelled him to superstar status and while he made a fatal error in the final, he’s recovered from that penalty miss brilliantly.
Saka is certainly one of the most talented young athletes in Europe right now.
