Bukayo Saka has denied speculation that he is driving Arsenal, with the 19-year-old pointing out that football remains a team sport and needs help.
Bukayo Saka is well appreciated in Arsenal
The home part of the near and long term plans at Emirates Stadium takes on an ever-increasing level of responsibility despite its tender years. Bukayo is well regarded at Arsenal with a new contract that will come his way, but the England international is eager to avoid even more pressure on his young shoulders. Bukayo, about his role with the Gunners, said that he does not feel pressure from outside voices and that he always wanted to have the courage to play, to be what is seen when everyone’s head is down and does not think that he is the player who carried Arsenal. In football, these are 11 men. He doesn’t think he can do one thing alone. It is a team sport.
The 2020-21 campaign was another inconsistent campaign for Arsenal, currently 10th in the Premier League. Bukayo, however, is among those who wrote fresh terms with Folarin Balogun recently to do the same and the teenager is pleased with his decision to commit to the Gunners. When signing a long-term deal until 2024, he added that it was easy for him to think about what was best for his career and he felt it was best for his career to keep playing with Arsenal.
This is every child’s dream
Bukayo clearly thinks his aspirations can match Arsenal’s on the part of Mikel Arteta’s trying to chase silver staples this season. They got through to the Europa League semi-finals, where they will meet with Villarreal, and there is high confidence in the Gunners’ camp. Bukayo also said that it would mean everything to him, to the fans, to the club and of course it would mean returning to the Champions League next season. It’s every kid’s dream to play the Champions League and play the biggest matches of their career.
