Oleksandr Zinchenko has lauded Bukayo Saka and claimed that his Arsenal teammate has the potential to get even better in the future.

Zinchenko was speaking to The Times as he praised the 22-year-old for how humble he is, even as one of the best players in the Premier League.

Bukayo Saka is on course for another remarkable season in his amazing career. The England international has already scored eight goals and contributed 12 assists in competitions this term.

Oleksandr Zinchenko backs Bukayo Saka to get even better

His appearance against Luton in midweek proved to be his 200th game for the Gunners. That is an outstanding achievement for the academy graduate. It is hardly surprising that Thierry Henry highlighted Saka as potentially the most important player in the Arsenal squad.

And what is frightening is that we may not have even seen the best of Saka just yet. Certainly, Oleksandr Zinchenko is optimistic that there is a lot more to come from his Arsenal teammate.

“One of his best qualities is he’s always staying humble, even knowing how good he is,” he told The Times. “He looks like he’s not going to stop. The potential he has is massive. He can become even better.”

Arsenal flying without hitting top gear

Saka is going to have to do something special to eclipse his tally of 25 goal contributions in the Premier League last season. However, he is on 11 right now. So it is certainly not out of the question.

It says everything about how good Saka is that most defenders know that he is the main threat in the Arsenal team. And yet, they can often do little to actually stop him.

His form has been particularly important this year, with the likes of Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Martinelli yet to find their best form. Gabriel Jesus meanwhile, has only scored twice in the league.

Yet, Arsenal find themselves top of the league at this stage.

Good luck to everyone else if the Gunners hit top gear and Saka continues to improve.
