Martin Keown, a club icon, has acknowledged that after chatting with the Arsenal and England phenom, Bukayo Saka, he was “immensely impressed.”
Saka has established himself as a key member of the Arsenal team and is currently having his best Premier League campaign to date.
The 21-year-old is one among the top candidates to win the division’s Player of the Year title this season after contributing ten assists and 12 goals in 28 Premier League games.
The Englishman will be crucial over the next few weeks as Arsenal attempts to defeat Man City and win the 2022–23 Premier League season.
If Arsenal defeats Leeds United on Saturday, they will regain an eight-point advantage over the competition.
During the international break, the Gunners went on a fantastic run, winning six straight games. They beat Crystal Palace in their most recent victory.
Now, Keown has acknowledged that when he spoke to Saka following the victory over Palace, he was “immensely impressed.”
After Arsenal’s 4-1 victory over Crystal Palace just before the international break, I had the chance to chat with Bukayo Saka, and I was quite impressed by this 21-year-mentality. old’s Keown was a Daily Mail contributor.
He assured me that they have no fear, which is evident in Saka’s play, and that they intend to do everything within their power over the next eight weeks to make history.
“This lovely attitude transported me to the Wenger era.” It won’t be simple for Arsenal to maintain the momentum against Leeds today.
The game against Liverpool, on the other hand, is nearly a “must-win” for Manchester City, who are playing the chasing role, as they must maintain the pressure.
Momentum can change so quickly and from game to game in a race for the Premier League championship. Start the countdown now.
Although Saka was “unwell,” as Arteta reported, he started the game against Leeds United on the bench.
He could not train yesterday. He wasn’t feeling good, Arteta said to Sky Sports.
“We put Gabriel Jesus on because he wasn’t feeling well, he didn’t workout, and today he feels a little bit better.”
Gabriel Jesus, who was brought in to make his first start since sustaining a catastrophic knee injury during the World Cup, took Saka’s position.
Jesus usually provides a lot of energy, quality, movement, and mayhem, continued Arteta.
We’ve been missing this player, so it’s fantastic to have him back.
