TalkSPORT pundit Scott Minto has raved about Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka and has praised his honesty.
The former Chelsea player has said on talkSPORT (2:15pm, August 12, 2023) that Arsenal and England international winger Bukayo Saka is a very honest player.
The pundit made the comments about Saka in the opening minutes of the second half of the Premier League match against Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium in North London on Saturday afternoon.
Minto noticed how when Saka came under a challenge inside the Forest penalty box, he did not go down and try to win a penalty.
Praise for Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka
Meanwhile, former Forest manager Martin O’Neill has praised Saka.
Minto said about Saka: “He is old school in how honest he is.
“He got inside the box there, two players marking him, he went the other side, there was a slight touch, not enough really go down, but I would say at least 50% of Premier League forwards would have gone down and asked the question of the referee. But he didn’t.”
O’Neill said about Saka: “He is a wonderful footballer to watch.”
Bukayo Saka is one of the best young players in the world and is simply a brilliant footballer.
And he is only 21.
Saka is one of the first names on the Arsenal teamsheet, and he is a regular for England as well.
The youngster was superb against Forest, and he is only going to get better.
It will be interesting to see how Saka does in the UEFA Champions League this season.
While we do not expect Arsenal to actually win the UEFA Champions League, manager Mikel Arteta will certainly want his players to give a positive impression in the competition and also progress to the latter stages.
