Manchester City defender Nathan Ake has named Arsenal star Bukayo Saka as one of his most difficult-ever opponents.
City are currently locked in a battle with the Gunners for the Premier League title, with Mikel Arteta's side currently sitting eight points clear at the top of the table, although the Citizens do have a game in hand on their title rivals. Now, Dutch centre-back Ake has admitted that playing against Hale End academy graduate Saka has been one of his toughest tests as a player.
When asked by HYPERBEAST about his most difficult matchups, the former Bournemouth man said: "[Roberto] Firmino was always a tough one because he could do everything – cuts in, drops deep, very good with the ball. Lately, as I’ve been playing at left back, players like Saka and [Mohamed] Salah are very difficult as well.”
