​Fabregas: Saka, Odegaard present and future of Arsenal

Former Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has praised Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard as the "present and future" of the team.

The Gunners were rampant in attack against Watford, despite a few defensive issues, winning 3-2 away from home in the Premier League on Sunday.

Martin Odegaard, Saka, and Martinelli got the goals, with veteran forward Alexandre Lacazette assisting his teammates on more than one occasion.

"Saka and Ødegaard are the present and future of Arsenal. Two big, big talents," said the Monaco midfielder on his official Twitter account.

The win takes Arsenal into fourth spot, a point ahead of Manchester United with three games in hand.
