In recent times at least, Bukayo Saka is the most successful product of the Arsenal academy. Considering his market value nowadays, it is impossible to believe that Arsenal didn't pay a dime for his services. Not that Arsenal ever wish to understand his market value, of course. If anything, Arsenal fans hope that Saka is a Gunner for life.

Particularly under Mikel Arteta, he has emerged into one of the best players in the world. He is a joy to watch but a nightmare to play against; every sign of a world-class player, right Rio?

There is no doubt that Bukayo Saka will feel the love from Arsenal fans. If he didn't already, then he will now, with the latest development emerging near the Emirates Stadium.

An Arsenal fan posted an image to Reddit of a half-complete Bukayo Saka mural being painted on the end of a building on Holloway Road, North London. The mural is only a 10-15 minute walk from the Emirates Stadium and by the looks of it, it is close to completion. Arsenal fans selfishly hope that the artists apply a Saka-level of speed but are also very aware that you cannot rush art.

The mural is unmistakably in relation to Bukayo Saka. It features his infamous hands in the air celebration, which Arsenal fans have grown quite used to seeing on a nearly week-by-week basis. The letters "yo" can also been seen, which is more than likely the end of his forename. Oh, his smile is also pretty unmistakable too, right?

In Arsenal's transitional period, having a player like Bukayo Saka has been of utter importance. After all, it's nice for Arsenal fans to have a player like Saka, who embodies everything the club is about, to relate to. So, it's nice to see Saka getting his flowers. He and his family will undoubtedly notice this mural with pride, and as they should.

Bukayo Saka already opened his account for the 2024/25 Premier League season. He scored a goal and provided an assist in the league opener against Wolves, picking up where he left off last season. Now, he will hope for more of the same against Aston Villa.

Bukayo Saka turns 23 years old at the beginning of next month. So, he is truly entering the prime stages of his career. It's scary to imagine just how good he could become, considering his current status.
