As Arsenal prepare to face Fulham on Sunday, pundit Kevin Campbell has said that Bukayo Saka may be underrated.
The ‘fabulous’ winger has earned plaudits from a number of pundits such as Micah Richards, Michael Owen and Alan Shearer for being at the top of his game this season. So much so that many even think that the £70,000-a-week man is perhaps the most in-form winger in the Premier League.
However, former Arsenal striker and pundit Kevin Campbell has said in the build-up to his side’s game against Fulham that Bukayo Saka is underrated.
Pundit Kevin Campbell calls Bukayo Saka underrated
The youngster has become the talk of the town this campaign and rightfully so, as he may just be the protagonist behind the Gunners potentially winning a Premier League title after 19 years.
Yet, pundit Kevin Campbell does not think so and as Arsenal travel to Craven Cottage to play against Fulham, he explains why Bukayo Saka is underrated.
“I think a lot of the time, you get the props when you win things, when you become a serial winner. Look, at 21 he’s been player of the season at Arsenal for two seasons, he’s England’s player of the season last season.”
“I think [that recognition] comes with winning trophies, especially with who he’s up against. He’s up against the Phil Foden’s of this world, and Phil Foden and City, we know what they do, they win trophies.”
“You’re looking at Mason Mount, who’s a Champions League winner, so he’s up against those sorts of players. And until Arsenal win I don’t think Bukayo Saka will get the props he richly deserves”, he said on the Football Daily Podcast.
Ultimately, it’s hard to agree with pundit Kevin Campbell as one awaits the clash between Arsenal and Fulham as if anything, Bukayo Saka perhaps is the most talked about youngster in England, and deservedly so.
