Jermaine Jenas has named Bukayo Saka as one of the best three wingers in the world right now.

Speaking to ESPN on TikTok, Jenas was asked to name the three best wide players on the planet at the moment.

The pundit made two rather straightforward picks as he chose Vinicius Jr and Mohamed Salah as the two best on the planet.

Jenas took a while to think of his third answer, but, eventually, he chose Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka as his third player, claiming that he loves the 22-year-old as a player.

Bukayo Saka is up there with Vinicius Jr

Jenas shared his verdict on Saka.

“Who are the three best wingers in the world right now?” Jenas was asked.

“The three best wingers? Vinicius Jr has got to be right up there, Mo Salah, and then Bukayo is definitely in there, I love Bukayo, what a guy,” Jenas said.

Superstar

Bukayo Saka has reached superstar level in no time at all.

The winger has been utterly brilliant for Arsenal over the past few seasons, and he’s certainly one of the best in the world at the moment.

Interestingly, Jenas wasn’t the only pundit asked this question in this TikTok, with Jobi McAnuff, Carlton Cole and Leah Williamson also asked to name their three best wingers on the planet, and interestingly, Saka was the only player to feature on everyone’s lists.

By that logic, Saka may well be the best winger on the planet.

In our view, Jenas’ ranking is close to being spot on, Vinicius Jr and Salah are the two premier wide players on the planet right now, but Saka isn’t far behind and at the age of just 22, he still has loads of room to grow and improve.

Arsenal have an absolute gem on their hands here, and they must know just how lucky they are to have Saka.
