Willian has given a four-word verdict on Arsenal teammate Bukayo Saka, who he is clearly a massive fan of.

Willian, 32, joined the Gunners in the summer from Chelsea and has arrived at the Emirates Stadium as one of the more senior members of the group.

Mikel Arteta’s squad is stacked with a number of talented young players, especially some that have come out of the their academy.

Saka, who has earned one senior international cap for England, is a highly-rated talent that is growing into a key first-team player for the North London club and has started the new campaign in strong form.

The 19-year-old is a versatile speed machine that can fit into anywhere in the midfield and he’s dangerous as a left-winger, but he’s proving to be effective in a left wing-back position.

“Bukayo has everything he needs,” Willian told the Daily Mail.

TBR’s View:

Arsenal have certainly unearthed a gem in their academy graduate Saka, who has already played 52 senior games for the club and is still a teenager learning on the job.

He’s now started the last four consecutive Premier League games to indicate the faith that manager Arteta has in him and it’ll be no surprise to see him involved on Sunday against Aston Villa.

There is now expectation growing on Saka to reach his full potential, but he seems like a laid back character that is taking everything in his stride and he’s got a perfect manager to help him deal with that kind of pressure.
