What can be said about Arsenal’s starboy that has not already been said? Bukayo Saka has continued his ascent into the world-class category with brilliant performances week-in and week-out. It is a pure joy to see him gliding across the pitch, combining with teammates and finishing off beautiful passing moves.

Against Crystal Palace, he added two goals and an assist to his tally, bringing him to 12 goals and ten assists in the league alone. He is having one of his most productive years. Saka is the undisputed starter on the right wing and his continued performances will push Arsenal for years to come. It will be up to Arteta to manage him carefully, as with Partey. If he can do so, the Hale End star could lift the biggest, but not the last, trophy of his already-impressive career.

Arsenal have performed far better than expected this season. Champions League qualification is all but secure but the shine of the Premier League trophy glimmers on the horizon. With ten games to go, the club has the chance to make history. Hopefully, they can do so.
