Arsenal’s star Bukayo Saka has emulated the style of legend Thierry Henry by registering quite a number of Premier League assists.

Saka is charged with the task of delivering end product for Mikel Arteta’s side. He has embraced that responsibility, with a half-century of assists being registered for Arsenal alongside 59 goals from 232 total appearances altogether.

Saka’s injury-prone nature has ensured that he will always be a vital member of the Arsenal team. This season, to the amazement of all around him, the 23-year-old winger has been at his creative best.

Saka has helped the Gunners with another fine assist in their entertaining 2-2 draw against Manchester City. He has also contributed to efforts against Wolves, Aston Villa, Brighton, and Tottenham.

He is only the second Arsenal player to have assisted in each of the team’s first five Premier League games this season. The first person to do this was club great Henry, who lit up the English premier league from 1999 to 2007.

When donning the renowned red shirt, Saka and many others want to meet the standards established by the World Cup-winning Frenchman, who is also Arsenal’s all-time top scorer.
