Arsenal legend Seaman tells Saka: Stop that!

Arsenal legend David Seaman has called for Bukayo Saka to stop fueling fears about his injury situation.

The winger, who is only 22, has been one of the most fouled players in the Premier League this season.

While Seaman has some sympathy, he also believes that Saka does not always have to exaggerate every contact.

“He needs to pack in that waving all the time as well because that's normally used as a signal to the physio bench when you are in trouble," Seaman argued on his Seaman Says podcast.

“It's not just Saka, I've seen a lot of other players doing it as well now. That was always the signal that you're really hurt so that they can get ready really quickly to get on as soon as the ref signals to them.

“But players are doing it now, they're doing that signal and then they're getting up and they're not even receiving treatment. They will try all sorts trust me, they're rule benders!"
