Saka, like a cat, has shown us his claws this season. The 21-year-old has been unplayable on Arsenal’s right wing. Unlike previous seasons, he is now consistent in front of goal, with 6 assists and 6 goals in 17 games.
Rio Ferdinand is so taken with the Arsenal man’s brilliance that he claims he could be a nightmare to face. Rio made these claims while comparing Arsenal’s No. 7 to Riyadh Mahrez. According to the Manchester United legend, facing Saka right now is more difficult than facing Mahrez.
“If I had to play against one or the other, I’d rather play against [Riyad] Mahrez than [Bukayo] Saka,” said Rio, as per The Daily Mail.
“I just feel Saka’s pace…me as a full-back, I just feel he wants to go by you all the time. He’s a threat always to go behind, whereas, Mahrez takes little breathers in games and if I get to him close physically…”
It is fantastic that Arsenal players are being recognised for their outstanding performances. Many Gunners have been flawless this season, and their efforts may be rewarded with silverware at the end of the season.
