Bukayo Saka has shared how Thierry Henry is always reaching out to him to help and offer pieces of advice as he continues to impress for Arsenal.

There is certainly nobody better for Bukayo Saka to learn from. For many of us, Thierry Henry is the greatest player the Premier League has ever seen. Certainly, few players could get fans out of their seats in the way the Frenchman could.

Bukayo Saka is definitely one of the very best in the top-flight now. The 22-year-old has been directly involved in 109 goals in 216 games in all competitions for Arsenal.

Bukayo Saka says Thierry Henry is always offering him advice

Saka almost immediately became a shining light in the Arsenal side when he came into the team initially. And he has been so consistent since then. Even when some of his performances were a little underwhelming earlier this season, he was still contributing goals and assists.

Saka was asked on CBS Sports Golazo about his relationship with Henry, and he suggested that the Arsenal legend is always there when he needs him.

“Thierry checks up on my a lot, it’s nice! He’s Thierry, so it’s a pleasure. He’s given me advice on and off the pitch and it’s really helping me so I appreciate it Titi, thank you,” he said.

The talisman of an Arsenal squad with huge potential

The challenge for Saka is to continue to keep improving given that he has achieved so much already. He has been in and around the Arsenal first-team for more than five years now. And he does not even turn 23 until the start of next season.

The good news is that Arsenal have so many players who have their peaks in front of them. This is a team which will continue to grow and improve, particularly as they gain more and more experience on the biggest stages.

And it would be no surprise if Saka remains for their talisman for some time to come, particularly with Henry in his corner.
