That’s the humble admission from Arsenal superstar Bukayo Saka, who has publicly revealed the one Gunners teammate whose performance left him stunned after yesterday’s match.
Despite being directly involved in key goals, Saka insisted that the spotlight belonged elsewhere to a player who, in his words, “shocked me with how good he was”.
This unexpected praise has got fans buzzing, as supporters scramble to guess the identity of the mystery star. One thing is certain: Saka’s words prove the competition for places and for praise inside Arteta’s squad is at an all-time high.
Bukayo Saka loved every minute of yesterday’s performance… and he wasn’t even talking about himself.
