Some Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to give their take on the exchange of messages between Bukayo Saka and Aston Villa star Jack Grealish.
Villa attacking midfielder Grealish was impressed by the goal from Saka during Arsenal’s win against Slavia Prague away from home in the Europa League on Thursday evening.
The 19-year-old England international winger had a very good game overall, and Grealish, who can also operate as a winger, was impressed.
Saka has responded to the message from his England international teammate, and this exchange has led to some Arsenal fans getting excited about a possible transfer of Grealish to the Emirates Stadium, as shown below.
There are no reports or suggestions that Grealish is a player Arsenal want. Moreover, with Villa valuing the 25-year-old at £100 million, as reported by The Telegraph last month, the Gunners are unlikely to be able to afford him, even if they clinch a Champions League place next season.
However, there is little doubt that Grealish would make Arsenal better. The England international is a very creative player who would slot into the Gunners’ attack seamlessly.
According to WhoScored, the 25-year-old has scored six goals and provided 10 assists in 22 Premier League matches for the Villans so far this season.
