Theo Walcott picks Robin van Persie over Bukayo Saka

Ranking Arsenal legends in a task for the , Walcott was in no mood to mess about when it came to Van Persi🃏e.

Walcott went with ‘RVP’ from the off, putting him above the likes o💦f Alexis Sanﷺchez, Olivier Giroud, Mesut Ozil, and even Robert Pires.

When it got to Saka, there was a brief pause from Walcott, before he again wentཧ with the Dutchman, insisting there was only going to be one man who knocked Van Persie off his perch.

That one man ended up being Thierry Henry, wꦦ🌼ho came out on top of Walcott’s list in the end, beating off Dennis Bergkamp in the final selection call.

Bukayo Saka can get himself to Van Persie levels

It’s pretty obvious that Theo Walcott has a soft spot for Robin van Persie and it shows how highly-rated h𝔉e is here.

However, Bukayo Saka is on his way to being as good and potentially better and in terms of longevity, Saka has the chance to 🤡be one of the all-time greats at Arsenal.

Van Persie was brilliant for a period but really, he got♎ his big win at Manchester United.

Saka, then, will 🧜be hoping to deliver the title and more to Arsenal and from there, he’ll probably find himself on top of this l꧟ist eventually.
