Eric Cantona says Arsenal have a truly ‘great’ talent in their ranks

🃏Meanwhile, the Gunners’ academy continues to produce exciting talents who are expected to have bright futures in the game.

The biggest Hale End success story in recent years is, without a doubt, Bukayo Saka.

The 22-year-old has become one of the best players in the Premier League, having already clocked up 226 appearances for Arsenal and 40 caps for England.

Saka was one of the brightest Three Lions players at Euro 2024൲, registering one goal and one assist as his nation reached a second consecutive Euros final.

💯Although England sadly couldn’t get over the line against Spain, there’s still plenty of time for Saka to achieve his dreams for club and country.
