Speaking to the Sky Sports Football YouTube channel, Mikel Arteta has been discussing Bukayo Saka and his potential.

The winger is undoubtedly one of the best young talents in the Premier League right now, and everyone is wondering just how good this kid can become.

At the age of 20, he’s already arguably Arsenal’s best player, while he’s also a fully-fledged England international.

The Gunners boss says that while he doesn’t know just how good Saka can become, he says that he believes he can become an extraordinary player.

What’s been said?

Arteta was asked how far he thinks Saka can go.

“The level, we don’t know, we don’t know how he can develop, it will depend a lot on him and the people around him. Football is still his priority today, and with the talent he has and the people at the club who want to help and support him, time will tell what he can do in the game, but I think he can be something extraordinary,” Arteta said.

Already is

Arteta says that Saka can become an extraordinary player, but we would argue that he already is.

The winger has been absolutely exceptional this season, while he was one of the stars of Euro 2020 before missing that penalty in the final.

The scary thing is that Saka is only 20 years old, and if he continues to improve, he could genuinely be one of the best players in the world one day.
