‘This guy’s not real’… Rob Holding says 22-year-old Arsenal player is so strong it’s ‘ridiculous’
Rob Holding has raved about Arsenal star Bukayo Saka and how strong he is.
The 22-year-old Englishman is one of the best players in the Premier Leagueꦡ. His pace, dribbling, vision and finishing often get a lot of praise, but Holding believes his strength is absolutely ridiculous as well.
Rob Holding says Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka is so strong it’s ridiculous
Rob Holding spent seven years at Arsenal and was a very popular member of the squad.
🦩The Englishman was loved by everyone at London Colney, and even though he didn’t play a lot in his final few years, he was very close to everyone at the club.
Holding played with a number of top-quality players during his time at Arsenal. Bukayo Saka🥂 was one of those he saw right from when he made his debut, and it’s clear that he admires the youngster.
🤡One trait that stands out for Holding about Saka is his strength – he thinks it’s absolutely ‘ridiculous’ how strong the 22-year-old is.
🌊Holding said on : “He’s so strong! He’s so strong, like people bounce off him.
𒅌“I remember the first time I noticed him and was like ‘wow he’s strong’ was I think it was (Seamus) Coleman come flying into him to nail him and Bukayo was just gone, he just bounced off him and carried on running.
✃“I was like ‘nah, this guy’s not real. This guy’s ridiculous’.”
Saka’s strength is very underrated
When you’re a top player in attack, you often get on the end of some nasty fouls from opposition defenders. Arsenalꦚ star Saka has experienced that a lot over the last 18 months.
ꦗHowever, the 22-year-old Englishman is so strong that he can ride people’s challenges and take them on. Even if he’s fouled, he rarely ever misses a game because of injury.
💃Saka’s strength is extremely underrated, and it’s one of the most important traits an attacking player can have, especially in the Premier League.
Arsenal take on Rob Holding’s Crystal Palace🦋 next and Saka is expected to start. If he has a good game, the Gunners should return to winning ways quite comfortably.
