World Cup winner says Arsenal have a talent who plays like Kylian Mbappe and Thierry Henry
Arsenal have a number of players in their squad who are truly top-class.
Mikel Arteta has built a terrific s꧂quad at the Emirates Stadium over the last few years, andඣ the Gunners are now up there with the best teams in the world.
Arsenal kicked off their Premier League campaign with an𝓡 impressive win over Gary O’Neil’s Wolverhampton Wanderers at home.
One player, in particu✨lar, was a level ab🌳ove everyone else, and he has now earned rave reviews from World Cup winner Frank Leboeuf.
Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka compared to Kylian Mbappe and Thierry Henry
Arsenal star Bukayo Saka is one of the best players in the world.
The Englishman has been absolutely amazing for club and country in recent🐎 years, and he h🎉as been improving season after season.
In the🌊 2023/24 campaign, Saka scored 20 goals and provided 14 assists in all competitions for Arsenal. That is a sensational return for a wide player.
Now, he has started the new season brilliantly as well, picking up a goal and an assist on the openജing day against Wolves.
Leboeuf, who helped France win the 1998 FIFA World Cup final against Brazil, has now delivered his verdict on the talente💎d Arsenal winger.
He has compared Saka’s ability to cut inside and cause damage to that of two elite French footballers – Thierry Henry and Kylian Mbappe.
When asked why defenders can’t stop Saka from cutting in, Leboeuf said on : “Because you always think that it’s too obvious and he won’t do it again. You💜 will expect him to go on your left side, but he does it again.
“You know, he knows he is very smart because he 🤪doesn’t go close to the defender – he stays two yards away. Like that, he has the possibility to curl the ball and do whatever he wants. The defender facing him doesn’t have the time to go close to him. He’s very clever in that matter.
“He’s technically perfect because he can put it in the far post and near post, it’s not a problem for him, he’s very accurate. We had so many players like that – remember Thierry Henry coming from the other side. Mbappe also when he was at Paris S𓆏aint-Germain last season.
“It’s almost impossible to cope with those players unless you have two or three play𒀰ers around him. but, one 🍷against one, well, you have to bow and say: ‘Well done, sir!'”
Mikel Arteta compared Saka to another football legend
Being compared to an icon like Henry and a superstar like Mbappe must be an incredible feeling, and Saka co🌼mpletely deserves it.
What the Englishman has been doing for club and country at such a young age over the last few years is ⛄simpl📖y extraordinary. He deserves a lot of praise.
Against Wolves in the opening game of this season, the Arsenal number seve꧂n fired an unstoppable shot with his left fo🎃ot to score past Jose Sa in goal.
After the game, Mikel Arteta compared Saka to Lionel Messi because of the way he cut inside easily and found the back of🎉 the net⛦.
Com🍬parisons to Messi, Henry and Mbappe all in one week show just how good a player Saka really is.
