Arsenal boss Arteta: Still more to come from Saka

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta feels there's more to come from Bukayo Saka.

This week marks five years since Saka's debut.

Arteta said, "He's targeted because he's one of our most dangerous players. Other teams know that and they try to stop that. What he's done in the past five years is remarkable at his age. When you look at his stats and how consistent he's been it's very rare to see that, especially in those positions at top clubs. So it's a big compliment for him.

"He plays in the World Cup and plays for the national team so I don't know what that means but he is a top, top player that's for sure.

"Getting to the top is one thing but maintaining it is something else. He has done it for five years and you can see the way he has improved has been steady but fast as well. He's got the right mentality, the right family and the right people around him. He is still so humble and has the right advice around him.

"That is what makes him special because he wants more and there is much more to come."
