Arsenal boss Arteta confident keeping Saka grounded

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is confident keeping Bukayo Saka's feet on the ground.

Some are claiming the winger is the best of his type in the world.

Arteta said: “Bukakyo has to learn how to deal with all the expectations of the media and the added attention on the pitch.

“We don't know how much he is aware of all that stuff and we have told him not to read too much or listen too much, just to focus on what he has to do every day. And we always have a stick ready, don't worry about that.

“The thing with Buklayo is that he is so humble and very intelligent. He knows where he is coming from and he understands that the praise is like a cloud, here one moment and gone tomorrow.

“So he must keep moving in the right direction to make sure that the sun always hits him while keeping his eyes wide open because this industry is very tough."
