Football legend David Beckham can't help but admire the impressive skills and character of Arsenal's young forward, Bukayo Saka. The 20-year-old has captured Beckham's attention both on and off the pitch, earning high praise from the former Manchester United and England winger.
Saka has been in top form since the start of the Premier League season, scoring two goals and providing seven assists in just seven matches. His most recent assists in Arsenal's victory over Southampton have also made him the top assist-maker in Europe's top five leagues.
This weekend, Saka is expected to continue his impressive performance against Bournemouth. However, there were concerns about his involvement due to a hamstring injury he sustained while playing for England in the Nations League. But reports suggest that the young star is confident about recovering in time for Saturday's game, where Arsenal will aim for their fifth consecutive win in all competitions.
Beckham spoke highly of Saka, not just as a player but also as a person. He admires how Saka not only focuses on his game but also strives to make a positive impact in various areas. This is something Beckham can relate to, having also worn the iconic No.7 shirt for both Manchester United and England.
The retired football legend considers himself lucky to have followed in the footsteps of his own heroes, such as George Best and Bryan Robson. He also praises Saka for his consistency and underrated talent, despite being only 23 years old.
Fans and experts, including Ian Wright, have also been singing Saka's praises for his remarkable performance this season. The young forward's contributions on the field and off the field are highly valued by his team and his supporters. And with his determination and skill, Saka is poised to continue making a difference and surpassing expectations.
