Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has doubled in value over the past 12 months.

This is according to the CIES Football Observatory, who named the Gunners ace as the fifth most valuable footballer in the world.

Saka continues to go from strength to strength for Arsenal and England, and can now be considered one of the best players on the planet.

Last term, the 22-year-old registered 14 goals and 11 assists for the Gunners in the Premier League, helping them come close to winning the title.

Saka’s tally this season continues to be impressive, and he has also been getting goal contributions in the Champions League.

The Hale End graduate is on nine goals and 12 assists for the season. This includes three goals and four assists from five Champions League outings.

Saka has also been doing well for England, registering four goals and one assist for the Three Lions in 2023 en route to Euro 2024 qualification.

This time last year, the CIES Football Observatory listed Saka’s valuation as around £96million, putting him 14th on the list of the world’s most valuable players.

This term, the Arsenal star has broken into the top ten and is now in fifth place with a valuation of around £192million. Only Jude Bellingham, Erling Haaland, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes are higher.

Bukayo Saka worth more than his weight in gold for Arsenal and England

Arsenal fans will no doubt be buzzing to know that they’ve got one of the top five players in the world, as per the statistical model exclusively developed by the CIES Football Observatory research team.

Best of all, Saka is just 22 years old, so who knows what heights he can reach in the coming years when he gets into his prime.

And if you’re an England fan, it’ll also be nice to hear that three of the world’s top six most valuable footballers, according to this model, are English.

The next few World Cups and European championships could be very exciting indeed.
