**Any Arsenal fan will tell you that Bukayo Saka is one of the very best players in the Premier League on his day.**
Saka has been a consistent presence and performer for the Gunners over the last few seasons, while his performances with England have also seen him become a regular fixture at international level.
The Arsenal man is, of course, in competition with a host of top players at international level, with Thomas Tuchel having an abundance of options available to him.
Nevertheless, Saka still keeps his place most of the time and according to legendary Spanish midfielder Thiago Alcantara, people need to remember something about the Arsenal man.

Let us know in the comments!
Saka has been one of the best wingers in Europe for years now. It is little wonder both Mikel Arteta and Thomas Tuchel pick him regularly, while his stats back up his selections too.
According to Thiago, though, it is quite amazing that Saka is still just 25.
“It’s incredible because in England you always bring new players in,” Thiago commented.
“Saka is still young, it’s amazing, there’s a new generation like Palmer, Saka, Foden, they’re still young, not 17, but they’re not much older than that.”
If there needed to be more backing up of how good Saka is at such a young age, then he’s also in the top ten for appearances in the Premier League by the age of 25.
Saka is currently in 5th place on 228, with only Wayne Rooney, James Milner, Gareth Barry and Raheem Sterling ahead of him in the pecking order.
Come the time Saka is 30, we could be looking at a player who has smashed past 500 appearances and has multiple Premier League titles to his name. If that happens, then he’ll go down as one of the best to ever do it in England.
