Bukayo Saka was amongst those to reply to former Arsenal teammate Sam Greenwood after the Leeds United summer signing took to Instagram to express his delight at winning the Premier League 2 Player of the Month award.

Greenwood has made a fantastic start to life at Elland Road. It looked to be a real coup for the Whites, with the Daily Mail reporting that the forward could net the Gunners £3 million.

He opened his account for Leeds’s under-23s with a goal in the 2-2 draw with Wolves midway through September.

And he followed that up with a superb hat-trick against another former club in Sunderland. The treble including a sensational free-kick as Leeds went on to win 3-1.

He continued that form into October, with a late winner against Middlesbrough. But his form for the previous month has now been recognised.

The 18-year-old was named Premier League 2 Player of the Month. And understandably, he decided to take to social media to celebrate the accolade.

Here is what Greenwood posted…

And amongst those to send a message to the teenager was Saka.

It was around this time last year that the Arsenal man was establishing himself in the first-team at the Emirates. And, of course, he has since gone on to become an England international.

So there may not be too many better players for the Leeds starlet to look up to in the coming months. But there is no question that he is off to an outstanding start.

Here is Saka’s response…
