Arsenal youngster Bukayo Saka has stated that he is still working hard to improve his skills.
Bukayo Saka is well aware that he still has much potential for improvement and has publicly addressed the aspects of his game that he is focusing on.
Saka is just 21 years old, but he has already accomplished a lot. He once again proved his worth on Saturday, scoring a spectacular long-range goal to give Arsenal the victory over Nottingham Forest.
Saka contributed 14 goals and 11 assists while playing in 38 Premier League games for the Gunners last season. The young winger has made a name for himself as one of the most intriguing young prospects in football under Mikel Arteta’s guidance. His £195,000 weekly wage already seems like a bargain for Arsenal.
Furthermore, there are no intentions for the Hale End academy product to slow down. After the victory versus Nottingham Forest, Saka emphasized his desire to continue improving, saying, “I have a lot to improve.” I’m considering how I’ll conduct myself in various games, including playing two-on-one opponents…I also need to focus on my right foot and heading, according to TNT Sports.
Arteta and the Emirates Stadium fans are excited about the prospect of Saka developing into a more well-rounded player.
The development ideas offered by Saka are also noteworthy. He will remain a threat no matter which direction the opposing full-backs try to shepherd him, making him increasingly harder for them to defend against if he can strengthen his right foot.
Similarly, his drive to improve his flying skills makes him an especially appealing target. At 5’10”, the 28-cap England international isn’t a particularly strong aerial presence. However, he possesses the athleticism and movement knowledge to compensate for his shortcomings in this area. Saka will be a real headache to account for as a defender if he can make himself a threat to opponents in the air as well.
Saka will be overjoyed to hear him speak so passionately about his goal to improve. Given his age and accomplishments thus far, it is difficult to determine how high the young Arsenal player’s ceiling is.
