Bukayo Saka omits Cristiano Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah as he reveals toughest player he has faced

Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has named Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets as the best player he has faced in his career so far. That is despite playing against some other top talents such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah in the past year.

The 20-year-old has seen a meteoric rise in the Gunners ranks, breaking through in 2019 to become a regular first-team starter from the youth team. This season, the England international has made 30 Premier League appearances, scoring nine goals and assisting five.

The youngster has managed to bounce back from a tough summer, where he and his England teammates managed to reach the European Championship final, but missed a decisive penalty to lose the game. Despite that, Mikel Arteta has said that it was a positive experience for Saka to grow from.
