Toure: Saka now Arsenal's most important player

Former Arsenal defender Kolo Toure is full of praise for attacking midfielder Bukayo Saka.

Toure rates Saka as Arsenal's most important player.

He explained to Goal: “This guy has a special talent.

"He has passion, he has desire, he has technique, he has everything.

"I was very impressed with what he does and for me, as a player who has been in the game for a long time, watching an easy match is quite boring. But when I watch a tight game and I see one player ready to take the ball under pressure and make a difference, that's what I love.

"For Saka, this moment is special because it's the first time he's faced with all of this. But there is always a first time for everyone. If he copes with the role of leader now, then Arsenal can definitely win the championship."
