The Arsenal squad have been pictured in training ahead of their clash with Olympiacos at 8pm tonight, in what is a crucial game.

Mikel Arteta’s men were snapped at London Colney yesterday before jetting off to take on the Greek giants, and Bukayo Saka was spotted doing something interesting.

The 19-year-old wonderkid was seen copying Alexandre Lacazette’s celebration at London Colney.

Saka was spotted replicating the Frenchman’s celebration, in which one arm is outstretched while the other remains close to the body.

Why the teenager was copying Arsenal’s No.9 is a mystery.

However, it would be great to see Saka pull off the celebration tonight after bagging a goal against Olympiacos.

After all, Arsenal need revenge after being knocked out by the Greek side last season in dramatic fashion.

The chances of us seeing the Arsenal No.7 celebrating in some capacity tonight are quite high – the Europa League has become his playground.

Saka scored two goals and assisted four more in six Europa League outings last season.

This term, he has one goal and three assists in four Europa League games, including two crucial set-ups for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang against Benfica last time out.

If he can help Arsenal score some away goals tonight, the tie could be as good as over by the time the second leg rolls around.
