Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has revealed the influence Cristiano Ronaldo has had on his footballing career. The 22-year-old Gunners winger has delivered his best season in an Arsenal shirt this season since breaking into the first-team squad, scoring 13 goals and notching 11 assists from 36 Premier League appearances.
Under Mikel Arteta, Saka has delivered numerous talismanic displays which has made one of the key stars for Arsenal. In regard to his immediate future, a contract extension looks to have been finalised which will see him remain in north London until 2028.
Despite only still being a young player himself, like Ronaldo appears to have done for Saka, the Arsenal starlet is looked up to by his teammates. On international duty, Manchester City winger Phil Foden made his thoughts surrounding Saka very clear: "Definitely, I learn from him," Foden told Evening Standard. "From him missing that penalty, he’s turned it around with his performances on the pitch for club & country. He’s such a nice lad & everyone loves him. He’s a big part of what we do here."
