‘You can tell’: Andy Cole full of praise for Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka

Former Premier League striker and Arsenal man, Andy Cole, has described just how impressed he has been with Bukayo Saka on Talksport today.

Saka was in brilliant form for the Gunners as they swept aside West Brom yesterday with ease. The England youngster was integral throughout and scored a delightful goal early on from Emile Smith-Rowe’s cutback.

And speaking on Talksport today, Cole – who started his career in north London – believes you can just tell Saka is going to be a star.

“He’s very very talented and apparently his attitude is bang on for a young kid. Not a big time Charlie,” Cole said.

“Just watching his performances you can tell. I just love watching him, love watching his energy and what he gives the football club.”

Saka has started to cement himself in Mikel Arteta’s XI of late and has a real chance of making the England squad for the Euros on current form. Still only 19, he already has four caps and has impressed Gareth Southgate.

Arsenal, meanwhile, will be hoping Saka’s current run continues and he continues to impress the likes of Cole and other former players.

One of the best in Europe on his day, Saka is looking better by the week and to catch the eye of a former Manchester United hero in Andy Cole means he must be doing something right.

Hopefully this is the start of a brilliant run for Saka and along with that, he should drag Arsenal to some good results.

For England, his form is a massive plus and he could have a real impact in the summer if he carries on.
