Bukayo Saka is sovereignly the biggest fan favourite at Arsenal today. And no wonder. Bukayo joined Arsenal's academy at the age of seven. A year later, he signed the necessary documents and became an official member of Arsenal's youth team. The Englishman with the unconventional name, which he owes to his Nigerian roots, went through all the Canaries' youth teams and became a member of the A team. He made his debut for Arsenal's A-team at the age of seventeen in the Europa League, playing for Ukrainian side FK Vorskla Poltava. Gradually, he has developed from an honest youngster on the edge of defence into one of the best players (if not the best player) at Arsenal today. From the 2020/2021 season, he will take over the iconic number 7, worn in the past by the legendary Robert Pirés and Tomas Rosicky. And as they say in England: ...and the rest is history. Bukayo Saka is regarded as one of the best right wingers in the world of football, his performances on the pitch have not only dragged Arsenal, but also the English national team. His journey, his footballing qualities, his attitude on and off the pitch have got him to where he is, and that's also why Mikel Arteta has appointed one of his deputies, Captain Martin Ødegaard. In a word, starboy.
