​Arsenal legend Henry heaps praise on Bukayo Saka

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry is full of praise for young winger Bukayo Saka.

The Englishman has shown his creative ability and versatility for club and country this season.

Saka has excelled as a winger, but can also put in a shift as a wing back.

The 19-year-old is in Gareth Southgate's England squad for Euro 2020 as well.

"You could see that he wanted to run at people, he wanted the ball, he was brave on the ball," Henry told Goal.com.

"It was too early to tell and when I saw him breaking into the first team [when Henry was Arsenal Under-18s coach] because it was after I left.

"I was like: Wow, it's amazing. I always liked the attitude of the kid, his commitment. And what I like about him is he cares about his club, and he will do whatever to make sure that the team wins."
