Saka has helped Arsenal defensively and he has been a constant threat in the opposition half as well. The youngster is an excellent creator because of his flair and technique. He has chipped in with vital goals as well.
Arteta said: “He’s really humble, respectful and at the same time has that character to demand the ball, to make decisions that are not very usual for his age. We need that leadership and he’s gaining that with his attitude.
“He’s all the time asking to train more to improve in areas that he can do better. That was certainly one, producing the final bit in the box to score or assist.
“If he’s able to do that with the intelligence that he has, with the work rate that he shows on the pitch and with the capacity that he has to understand the game in different positions, then he becomes a really different player.”
