Bukayo Saka has started to push for a place in Arsenal’s team, with the youngster showing plenty of promise.
Arsenal boss Unai Emery has told the Daily Mirror that his players do not struggle to understand him.
Arsenal youngster Bukayo Saka stated in the press that he sometimes has to get Freddie Ljungberg to translate the Spanish boss’s comments.
However, Emery has refuted the Arsenal attacker’s claims.
Indeed, the Gunners boss has revealed that Saka is a player who he has spoken to particularly regularly of late.
“I have conversations with players, particularly individually with Bukayo Saka. Sometimes I use Freddie to do that conversation with individual players,” he said.
“But I also spoke to Saka alone in my office and prepared sometimes some videos – I have done videos with English players, Spanish players, French players, German players.
“Now my English is, from one to 10, maybe a six. But at six, I think the players can understand me. If not, some help is good.”
Saka has shown glimpses of great promise at Arsenal recently, and is now pushing to land a place in their regular starting line-up.
The teenager has impressed whenever he has been given a chance in Arsenal’s team, with his displays earning plenty of praise.
Saka scored for Arsenal in the Europa League earlier this month, with his performance against Eintracht Frankfurt proving he was ready for more regular minutes.
The youngster could now be in line to feature this evening, when Arsenal take on Manchester United at Old Trafford.
