Former Arsenal academy coach Roy Massey has recalled working with a young Bukayo Saka.

Massey namechecks Miguel Rios as the scout who discovered Saka as a junior player.

He recalled to BBC Sport: "Bukayo came to the academy aged eight thanks to Miguel Rios, a young man who I asked to do some scouting for us in west London.

"He brought in several youngsters but clearly the standout was Bukayo, who was 13 by the time I retired and has proved to be one of the most talented players produced by the Arsenal academy.

"Bukayo had a very good left foot and was played mainly as a left full-back, from where he could learn how to defend and attack the game, or as left winger in eight-a-side games on small pitches.

"He had two good feet but the coaching staff thought he was stronger on his left. He showed composure on the ball. He had strength and pace but the slight concern was that as he got older his success would not be maintained once the other players could compete physically with him.

"However, Bukayo had a maturity beyond his early years and showed great football intelligence, ability on the ball and a real desire to become a professional. Like most young boys his dad was very supportive of his efforts."
