Even West Ham United fans have been left very impressed by Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka last night.
Impressive display
Arsenal ran out 2-0 winners over West Ham yesterday and Saka put in a wonderful display, as he helped Mikel Arteta’s side to the three points.
The young winger was a constant source of danger for West Ham, who simply couldn’t deal with him.
Arthur Masuaku badly struggled at left-back, as the Arsenal man ran at him time and time again.
Saka created numerous chances for his Gunners teammates and had a huge hand in setting up the opportunity for Emile Smith Rowe to score the second.
And even West Ham fans were left singing the praises of the Hale End graduate during the game.
Growing reputation
West Ham did, of course, have a number of defenders out yesterday, so Saka may face tougher tests in the coming weeks.
But he is becoming a huge threat to almost every backline he faces.
The Arsenal winger is a wonderful dribbler, and his ability to go both ways when coming in from the flank is a real asset of his.
Saka still is only 20-years-old, so he has plenty of time to improve, but he is already one of the first names on the team sheet for Arteta’s side.
And if he keeps on performing to the standard he showed last night his burgeoning reputation will only continue to grow.
