Arsenal youth recruitment chief Marcel Lucassen has name-checked Bukayo Saka as the ideal "example" of the type of player they want to produce.

Lucassen is encouraged by the return of Mikel Arteta to the club as manager after the Spaniard spent two seasons working with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City .

He told Voetbal International: “Bukayo Saka is the best example of what we want at Arsenal.

“He has the potential to become one of the best three wing-backs in the world and I really think Arteta can help in that process.

“Arteta, with his vision, is not far from what we want in the academy.

“Talents like Saka, Reiss Nelson, Eddie Nketiah, Emile Smith-Rowe and Joe Willock should benefit from that."
