Arsenal fullback Bellerin: Saka will stay grounded

Arsenal fullback Hector Bellerin is convinced Bukayo Saka will keep his feet on the ground after victory over Southampton last night.

Saka scored one goal and assisted another as Arsenal beat Southampton 3-1 at St. Mary's to move up to eighth in the Premier League.

“It is so good because Bukayo is someone that is still really young," said Bellerin.

“He still wants to learn. Even though he is doing so well, he has got his feet on the ground.

“When we work down that right side, we have to communicate all the time and he is someone that listens, that wants to help the team 100 per cent.

“I think that's the most important thing - when a player wants to learn and wants to listen to their team-mates, and wants to help their team-mates and the team, that's the most important thing.

“He has got a lot of that and I am so happy for him for the way it is going."
