Speaking on the Seaman Says Podcast, David Seaman has been discussing Bukayo Saka and his fearlessness on the pitch.

The Arsenal ace plays in a fearless manner on the pitch. At the age of just 20 he’s ready to take on any defender and all he ever tries to do is attack.

His style of play makes it looks as though he doesn’t feel any pressure, but according to Seaman, Saka will be well aware of the expectation that is on his shoulders at the moment.

What’s been said?

Seaman spoke about Saka and the pressure that he will be feeling.

“He just plays without pressure, people might say that he’s young and he doesn’t feel pressure, trust me, he feels it, especially after the Euros as well, he knows what it is all about,” Seaman said.

Block it out

Saka may be feeling the pressure at Arsenal, but it certainly doesn’t look as though he is.

Of course, when you’re Arsenal’s most important player at the age of 20, you are under a lot of pressure, but this is a player who can block all of that out and play as though he’s having a kick about on the park with his friends.

He’s a player who is carrying a massive weight on his shoulders, but when you watch him play, it seems as though he doesn’t have a care in the world.

Fingers crossed Saka can continue to play with this level of confidence even as the pressure grows.
