Ex-Gunners forward and Arsenal legend Ian Wright believes forward Bukayo Saka is heading 'all the way to the top' given his performances this season.
Handed the famous No. 7 shirt graced by many decorated players, including Robert Pires and Alexis Sanchez, Saka is currently writing his own fairytale.
Finding the net 10 times and registering 5 assists in 35 appearances during the campaign thus far, the England international is responding well to the critics following his penalty miss during the Three Lions Euro 2020 final defeat last summer.

Despite a recent blip in from, Arsenal are still firmly in the hunt for a top-four finish this season and will no doubt look to bounce back when they travel to Southampton on Saturday afternoon.
Speaking exclusively during a GQ Style feature on Saka's rise to stardom, Wright began by recalling the first time he ever saw the forward play. “He was 15 and people were already saying Saka was way too advanced for the team he was playing with,'' said Wright.
"I remember watching him at Hale End, and he went past three players so easily, and the ball came to him a couple of times and he just popped it off, one touch, and moved. He was just doing stuff in that game that a player of 25 years of age would do. I said, ‘He’s going all the way to the top – no danger.’
A glowing amount of praise has been cast the academy graduates way in recent years, given his positive character, strong attitude and willing work ethic that has already seen him become a strong fans favourites with the Gunners' faithful.
