Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown has likened youngster Bukayo Saka to Liverpool star Mohamed Salah amid an impressive start to the season. The 21-year-old has eight goal involvements across all competitions so far for the Gunners, becoming a clear mainstay on the right flank.
"He can become much better," Mikel Arteta said of the winger after his goal sealed a 1-0 victory over Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League group stages. "He had moments in the game where he was really good and then moments he can improve and demand more of himself, especially defensively."
Saka's goal secured all three points in Norway, though it would be one of his luckier ones as the ball deflected off a defender and back upon him to beat the goalkeeper. It means the Gunners secure top spot in the Europa League group as things currently stand, with a huge double clash against PSV Eindhoven likely to decide whether they will progress as expected.
