Arsenal already have their own Arjen Robben as Mikel Arteta's summer transfer priority is clear

Bukayo Saka has been endorsed by Arjen Robben by his performances on the pitch, as Arsenal’s star boy has the same amount of Premier League goals as the legendary winger. It highlights the direction and the untouchable ceiling that Saka has.

Robben is known as one of the best left-footed wingers in football who caused havoc on opposition left-backs during his tenure at Bayern Munich. He also had a spell at Chelsea where he also showed his quality as an elite winger.

Saka has elements of Robben to his game, as he is also dominant down the right-hand side, which gives him the ability to cut in on his stronger left foot. The crucial part he is missing in his game is to be lethal in front of goal, which was what Robben had in his locker. But the fact that Saka has equalled the legendary Dutchman's Premier League goal tally shows that he is certainly heading in the right direction.
