The archbishop of Uganda has used Arsenal star Bukayo Saka in his prayers recently.

Saka has been in outstanding form with the Gunners, scoring seven and providing seven assists to help the club to the top of the Premier League.

Now it appears that Saka is earning admirers around the world, including in East Africa.

Stephen Kazimba, archbishop of Uganda and the bishop of the country's capital Kampala, is a passionate Arsenal fan who admits he is learning from Saka.

"Our boys did it again. Arsenal, the Gunners! And for Man Utd fans, congratulations upon yesterday's win. Pray hard to maintain the momentum. Soccer becomes nice when Giants win and compete. That's why they say soccer is soccer," Kazimba wrote on Twitter.

"I always refer Bukayo Saka whenever I am talking about strategic positioning. @BukayoSaka87 knows how to position himself well during the game and values teamwork. I learn the following from him; 1) Strategic positioning, 2) Teamwork. I think he is equally prayerful."
