Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney has said on the club’s official Twitter page that his teammate Bukayo Saka is world class.

The Scotland international made the comments about the England international during a Q&A session on Twitter.

Tierney rates the 19-year-old highly, and believes that he is world class.

Is Bukayo Saka world class?

Saka is an important player in the current Arsenal team and is simply brilliant.

The England international is a very versatile footballer who can operate in a number of positions.

The 19-year-old can play as a winger, central midfielder and left-back.

Saka is so good that he is already an important player for England and could be key in the Three Lions winning the Euro 2020 finals this summer.

The youngster made 30 starts and two substitute appearances in the Premier League for Arsenal last season.

The teenager scored five goals and gave three assists in those games.

Saka also scored two goals and provided three assists in nine Europa League matches as well.

The Arsenal man is clearly a talented player, but perhaps he is not world class yet.

There is no doubt that the attacker is one of the best young players on the planet, but he still has a lot to do to get that ‘world class’ status.

Saka needs to play consistently well for one or two more seasons at least, not just in the Premier League, but in major European competitions as well.
