Arsenal hero Keown: Saka becoming a leader

Arsenal hero Martin Keown says Bukayo Saka is becoming a leader.

Saka proved Arsenal's matchwinner at Europa League opponents Bodo/Glimt on Thursday night.

Keown said, "He's top draw and he's now showing the way for the next generation.

"The club is together now, they know their talent that's emerging and it's like a soccer factory. The youth prospects they have are dangerous."

The former England defender added: "I think all in all Mikel Arteta will be happy, he might have wanted a better result but they ground out the result and just did enough.

"They live to fight another day, keeping the winning habit going. Yes there's work to do, but they keep proving they can challenge Manchester City to the title this season."
