Arsenal kid Bukayo Saka thrilled to make Premier League debut

Bukayo Saka was thrilled to make his Premier League debut in Arsenal's 4-1 win over Fulham.

Saka replaced Alex Iwobi with three minutes remaining in our 4-1 win over Fulham, adding to his two appearances in the Europa League late last year.

“Right now I'm feeling so happy," he said. “I feel blessed to have made my debut and get minutes on the pitch. I just want to thank my family, my friends and everyone at the club who's helped me to get to this stage.

“It's been a tough stage, a long stage, but through hard work and determination I managed to get here.

“I'm not stopping now. I'm very hungry. I just want to work hard with every chance I get. In training I just want to impress the coach so I can get back on the pitch."
