Arsenal’s Saka says ex-Tottenham star who Pochettino sold in 2017 is his toughest-ever opponent

Arsenal star Bukayo Saka took part in a Q&A on yesterday and answered many interesting questions.
The youngster has become one of the most popular players in the Premier League over the last two years. His rise to fame has been phenomenal, and everybody would agree that he deserves it.
Saka has been a real star for Arsenal since the start of last season. Even though he’s still only 20, he is arguably their best player, but who is the toughest opponent he has faced in his career so far?
The Englishman named an ex-Tottenham Hotspur star.
Bukayo Saka: Kyle Walker is the toughest player I’ve faced
Asked about the hardest player he has ever faced, Saka replied without any hesitation: “Kyle Walker! I think that’s pretty self-explanatory.”
Walker is undoubtedly one of the Premier League’s best defenders. He has played a big part in helping Manchester City win a number of trophies, but Arsenal fans won’t forget that he was once a Tottenham player.
The Englishman spent eight long years at Spurs and he played 229 games in all competitions for them. He developed brilliantly there and improved a lot under Mauricio Pochettino, but the Argentine had to sell him when Manchester City came calling in 2017.
Walker has gone to a whole new level at City under Pep Guardiola. It’s not easy for wingers to get past him, even for Saka, who is among the quickest players in the Premier League, if not in the world.
