Bukayo Saka has discovered the art of survival like a skittle in a ten-pin bowling alley – mental toughness.
And Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is relishing the new-found “robustness” of his granite Saka who tops the Premier League with Granit Xhaka.
As Arsenal count down to the most coveted prize in pop culture – being No.1 at Christmas – Saka's consistency, despite the harsh attention of opposition left-backs, has brought him five goals and four assists so far this season. It's why he is tipped to start the World Cup for England next month ahead of Phil Foden and Jack Grealish.
