Podolski picks Arsenal's top player and new addition who needs to step up.

According to former Arsenal player Lukas Podolski, young talent Bukayo Saka is currently the best player on the team. As the Gunners prepare for their Champions League match against Inter Milan, Podolski has praised Saka's natural ability as a "born dribbler."

It has been a challenging few weeks for Arsenal, with only two wins in their last five games across all competitions. Their recent 1-0 loss to Newcastle has left them seven points behind league leaders Liverpool. However, Wednesday's match against Inter presents an opportunity for the team to turn their season around.

After starting their European campaign with a draw against Atalanta, Arsenal secured victories against Paris Saint-Germain and Shakhtar Donetsk. A win against Inter would see them move up the Champions League table and potentially qualify for the next round. The team is also hoping for the return of midfielder Martin Odegaard, who has been out with an ankle injury and has been sorely missed in terms of creativity on the field.

But according to Podolski, Saka remains the key player for Arsenal. When asked to name the team's best player, Podolski, who also had a brief stint at Inter, declared, "Bukayo Saka. A born dribbler." He also praised Inter's Marcus Thuram, stating that Arsenal does not have a striker of his caliber.

Speaking of Arsenal's summer signing, Riccardo Calafiori, Podolski believes there is still room for improvement in the defender's game. While he has impressed fans with his performances so far, Podolski, a World Cup winner with Germany, believes Calafiori has the potential to become even better with time.

As for the upcoming match against Inter, Podolski admits it is hard to predict the outcome. Both teams have their strengths, but the former Arsenal player is personally drawn to the style of play under manager Mikel Arteta. He believes that Arteta's approach to the game is what sets Arsenal apart and makes them a team to watch.
