Bukayo Saka can break one Premier League record this season
It looks very likely especially after the 23 year old’s impressive performance last night
Arsenal had a really great game last night against West Ham. They earned all three points by defeating Hammers 5-2 in an away fixture. Bukayo Saka was voted as the player of the match for his superb performance.
Saka played 74 minutes and left with 1 goal and 2 assists. He created the most chances (4) in the game along with 2 big chances. He won 1 penalty which was converted smoothly by Martin Odegaard.
Saka then had 51 touches with 9 in opposition box. He had 2 successful dribbles and 4 accurate crosses. Lastly, he won 5 duels and made 2 recoveries. All stats are as per FOTMOB.
Bukayo Saka sets his eyes on Premier League record
Bukayo Saka added 2 more assists to his tally last night. He now has 10 assists in 12 Premier League games this season. He will be very likely able to break the Premier League record for most assists in single season this term.
The current record is held by both Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne. Henry assisted 20 goals in 2002/03 season for Arsenal whereas De Bruyne did that in 2019/20 season for Man City.
Saka still has 25 games in hand to surpass that record. If he is able to keep up this form we will very likely see the Arsenal academy graduate setting a new milestone which will stay up there for ages.
Outside Premier League, Lionel Messi and Thomas Muller hold the record for most assists in single season. They both recorded 21 assists in the 2019/20 season. Saka can challenge this record too and has a chance to crave his name in history books.
