‘I’m so impressed’… Kai Havertz says Arsenal have a 22-year-old player who’s blown him away

Arsenal have such a fantastic squad at the moment.

The Gunners have a number of players who are very much bordering on being world-class, and some who are already there.

One player who is certainly in that category already is Bukayo Saka.

The winger has been excellent for Arsenal for a long time now, and he doesn’t seem to be slowing down in his development.

Speaking on the Football Daily YouTube channel, one of Saka’s newer teammates, Kai Havertz, has been raving about the 22-year-old, claiming that he’s been so impressed by the winger since joining Arsenal.

Kai Havertz has been impressed by Bukayo Saka

Havertz spoke highly of his teammate.

“I’m so impressed with him, not only as a player, but also as a guy, he’s a top guy with both feet on the ground. He has so many years in front of him. It’s nice to see someone coming through the academy, being a professional player and captaining the club, I hope he’s going to keep those standards up for a long time,” Havertz said.

Bukayo Saka is up there with the best

This is high praise from a player who has played with some of the best in the world.

Say what you will about Havertz, but he’s a multi-time Germany international as well as a Champions League winner.

Havertz has played with some absolutely brilliant players during his time, so for Saka to standout from the crowd is a testament to his quality.

The reality is that at the age of just 22, Saka is already among the best players in the world, and if he continues on this trajectory he could well end up being one of the best players to ever lace up a pair of boots for Arsenal.
