Arsene Wenger says he looks forward to meeting Bukayo Saka one day after the Arsenal star said he deeply regrets never meeting the Frenchman.
Wenger managed Arsenal for 22 years and was deeply influential in the careers of many of the club’s greatest ever players. But he left at the end of the 2017/18 season, before Saka’s first-team debut in November 2018, meaning their paths never crossed.
“One of my biggest regrets was that I haven’t met Arsene Wenger,” Saka said earlier this week. “I know how much my dad loves him, how much everyone at the club loves him. I know what he has done for the club, of course.”
