Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher has raved about Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka.

The former Liverpool defender has named Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka on Sky Sports as the Best Young Player in the Premier League this season.

The Sky Sports pundit has said that the 21-year-old has been fantastic for the Gunners this campaign.

Carragher made the comments about the England international on Monday Night Football on Sky Sports.

The pundit, though, believes that Norway international attacking midfielder Martin Odegaard has been the best player for Arsenal this season.

Carragher said about Saka: ”I love him. I think he has been fantastic. Odegaard has been Arsenal’s best player, I just did not pick Odegaard because he is too old – 24 seems too old to be the young player.”

Bukayo Saka is an Arsenal gem

In our view, Bukayo Saka is one of the best young players in the world and is a key figure at Arsenal.

Yes, the 21-year-old did not have the best of seasons in the final weeks of the season, but the England international has been superb overall this campaign.

Saka has made 36 starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League for Arsenal this season.

The 21-year-old has scored 13 goals and given 11 assists in those games.

The England international has played consistently well and always gives his all.

It is remarkable that a 21-year-old player could be so consistent.

You would not often see Saka having a bad game.

That’s how good he is.

One of the big reasons why Arsenal could end up second in the Premier League table this season is because of the form of Saka.
