Alan Shearer impressed by Bukayo Saka’s resilience

Speaking on the la🗹test episode of the podcast, Shearer lauded Saka.

And he praised how the Arsenal w🍌inger never backs away despite being fouled and kicked plenty of times during games.

“I mean, he’s just an incredible player. Left foot, right foot, attitude, but you know what, it’s also, he gets kicked every single week and he just goes 🌄👍back for more, and he never shirks a challenge,” Shearer said.

“He’s just a phenomenal footballer.”

Saka’s perforﷺmance won him praise off Mikel Arteta at full time, while Jason Cundy also praised Saka’s influence from wide areas.

Saka one of the best around

While Arsenal fans have been crying out for a player in the number nine position in recent transfer windows, but all the while Bukayo Saka has con🐬tinued to excel.

This weekend against Southampton was just yet another example of how go﷽od and how important Saka is to thജis Arsenal team.

Teams that win titles often have a couple of individuals who can get them out of the mir💝e in certain games.

Sak😼a is that maℱn for Arsenal and as Shearer says here, his resilience is seriously impressive.
