Bukayo Saka isn’t just a popular player with the Arsenal supporters because he was receiving some much-deserved praise from his fellow professionals on Instagram after his side saw off Southampton on Tuesday night.
The likes of Jack Grealish, Kalvin Phillips, Folarin Balogun and Jadon Sancho were praising the Arsenal youngster for his performance in the Premier League.
Saka scored and assisted as Arsenal came from a goal down to secure a deserved three points and move into the Premier League’s top-eight.
Dortmund star Sancho simply told Saka to ‘keep going’, whilst his fellow England teammate, Jack Grealish, labelled him a ‘Starboyyyy’.
Saka’s fellow academy product, Balogun, was pretty bold in his message because he stated that he’s: ‘The best ever’. And Leeds star Kalvin Phillips, another England teammate, simply wrote: ‘Golden boy’.
Here is Saka’s Instagram message after last night’s win, with the praise from his colleagues in the comments section.
Saka is perhaps one of the best teenager’s in world football, at the minute because he is showing that he can play anywhere on the pitch and handle any situation.
Regardless of whether Arsenal are on a bad run or flying high in the league, the light-footed Saka ensures that his own performances don’t drop.
He has been Arsenal’s best player this season and if Mikel Arteta’s side continue in their ways then they are only heading one way this season and that’s towards a previously unlikely European finish.
