Merson hails Arsenal star for consistency

Former Arsenal star, Paul Merson, has singled out Bukayo Saka for the consistency the England forward has shown for the past few years.

Recall that Saka recently returned to action for the Three Lions in the UEFA Nations League on Thursday against Greece.

At the club level, Saka has started the season in top form, scoring two goals and providing seven assists in seven games in the Premier League.

The English winger is now a bonafide superstar at Arsenal, with 61 goals and 60 assists to his name in 236 matches.

According to Merson, Saka is at a different level from other wingers.

Merson in a statement via Sky Sports said Saka has continue to perform despite playing against 10 at the back week-in and week-out.

According to the former Arsenal star, Saka has been where Cole Palmer is for a couple of years and is still finding solutions.

Merson stated that Saka has been consistent while describing him as a player who plays light-years ahead of his time.

Hailing manager Mikel Arteta for the English winger’s performance, Merson said, “They have a system to play which gets Saka time on the ball. He doesn’t get it with five players around him, he gets it in space and that’s top management from Arteta.”
