Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli has named Bukayo Saka in his fantasy Champions League XI.

The Brazilian is one of Arsenal‘s best players, and he, along with Saka, is the present and future of the club. The two players have a great relationship with each other, and Martinelli has admitted he just loves watching his teammate every time he plays.

Gabriel Martinelli says he’s amazed by Arsenal star Bukayo Saka

Bukayo Saka is a product of Arsenal‘s prestigious Hale End academy, and he has become one of the best players in the world now.

The 22-year-old has been outstanding for Arsenal since Mikel Arteta‘s arrival. He initially played in numerous different positions, but over the last two years, he has made the right-wing spot his own.

Saka is arguably Arsenal’s most important player now. When he plays well, the Gunners usually come away with the win, and his performances in the Champions League this term showed just that.

He was directly involved in more goals from open play than any other player in the group stage of this year’s competition. No player provided more open-play assists than him either.

Gabriel Martinelli revealed his UEFA Champions League fantasy XI on Instagram along with one word to describe his feelings every time he watches each of them play.

On the right wing, he named Saka. “Amazement,” he said when asked to describe the emotion he feels when he watches the Englishman play.

Martinelli also named Gabriel Jesus up top and the emotion he described was ‘astonishment’.

Arsenal star Bukayo Saka is world-class

Many people think Bukayo Saka hasn’t been at his best this season, and they are right.

The Englishman’s performances haven’t been as electrifying as they were last campaign, and he has had injury troubles as well. However, his numbers are still out of this world.

Saka has scored eight goals and provided 12 assists in all competitions this term in just 22 games. He is on track to have his best season ever, and he could easily end the campaign with over 35 goals and assists.

That would put him up there with the best players in the country, and he could even lead Arsenal to a trophy or two, which would further cement his status at the club.
