Thierry Henry calls Bukayo Saka the Arsenal captain after title claim

Thierry Henry is incredibly pleased with Bukayo Saka. In fact, he called him the "captain" after his great title-winning claim.

It is too early to compare Bukayo Saka to Thierry Henry. However, for Arsenal fans there is one similarity: When either of them talk, Arsenal fans remain silent to listen.

Bukayo Saka was yet again the star for Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League last night. The England international scored a free-kick in the first-half to put the scoreline to 2-0.

So, Arsenal remain unbeaten in all competitions this season. However, Arsenal legend Thierry Henry is mostly focused on the Premier League. He asked Saka how the dressing room feel about winning the Premier League and he was more than pleased with Saka's answer.

In his own words, Bukayo Saka said: "I don't want to put too much pressure on us but I do think this is the year. I think we've been close the last two years, and we're getting close, but yeah this will hopefully be the year."

Needless to say, Thierry Henry was pleased with Bukayo Saka's response. As the best player to ever play for Arsenal, Henry is a fan of the club. He would love to see the current crop of players win the title for the first time since his playing days.

Thierry Henry responded to Bukayo Saka: "You're captain, I like that. I like the way that you're speaking tonight."

Of course, Thierry Henry is not wrong. Last night, Bukayo Saka was the captain and he played like one. Saka was afforded the privilege of wearing the armband due to Martin Odegaard's injury, but it's been a long-time coming.

This season, Bukayo Saka has shown an increased ferocity on the pitch. Not only is he pushing and shoving to defend his teammates but he is also fighting extra hard for every loose ball.

Despite what some people who never watch Arsenal games might say, Bukayo Saka is one of the most consistent players in football. In fact, he has only gotten better with every season he's played.

This season, Saka is definitely adding physicality to his game. He has always shown great attacking awareness but being more well-rounded is a sign of a top, top player.

In his position, Bukayo Saka is among the best players in the world. The more great performances he puts in, the more undisputed his place among the top will become.
