Alan Shearer has included Arsenal star Bukayo Saka in his Premier League Team of the Week.

The 22-year-old England international has been in incredible form over the last month. He was fantastic again for Arsenal in the game against Burnley last weekend, and his performance caught Shearer’s eye.

Alan Shearer hails ‘unstoppable’ Arsenal star Bukayo Saka

A lot has been said about Bukayo Saka‘s performances for Arsenal this season.

The Englishman’s numbers have been excellent since the start of the campaign, but there have been several games in which he hasn’t looked at his best.

Saka looked really tired at the end of last year, and the January winter break came at the perfect time for him and many of his teammates.

Since that break in Dubai, Saka has played five times for Arsenal and has directly been involved in seven goals. He has been incredible and his performance against Burnley in the last game was truly ‘world-class‘.

Premier League legend Alan Shearer included Saka in his Team of the Week after watching his performance last weekend, and he branded the Englishman as ‘unstoppable’.

He wrote on the Premier League’s official website: “Looks full of confidence. Saka was unstoppable and he scored another brace.”

Saka is back to his best

Bukayo Saka definitely wasn’t at his usual level earlier in the season.

The talented youngster struggled when defenders doubled up against him, and he looked short of confidence on several occasions.

However, since the break last month, Saka is back to his best. He has a goal or an assist in each of Arsenal‘s last five games, and you wouldn’t bet against him scoring against Porto later today.

Saka has 28 direct goal contributions already this season. If he carries on in the same way until the end of the campaign, he will likely hit 40 goals and assists, which would be an outrageous achievement for a 22-year-old.
