“All In One…” Keown Praises Arsenal Star Who He Believes Has The Best Traits Of Both Rashford And Foden

Ex-Arsenal defender Martin Keown claims that Bukayo Saka’s “unique skillset” means he possesses the best parts of both Marcus Rashford and Phil Foden’s games.

The 21-year-old has been in outstanding form this season and Keown goes as far as to say that he would be good enough to start in the Gunners’ “Invincibles” side:


“He is, right now, the one player who would walk into the 2003-04 Invincibles team… Saka now has the world at his feet. His work ethic is infectious – so is his smile. He has the trickery of Phil Foden and the pace of Marcus Rashford all in one. It is a unique skillset and he is as tough as teak to go with it.”

It’s high praise from Keown indeed and you can’t really fault him for being so taken in by Saka, who is in the form of his life at the moment.

The winger has become a talisman for Arsenal as they mount an unlikely title challenge, having scored seven times and contributed seven assists in only 19 league appearances so far this campaign.

If Saka can maintain this level for the rest of this season, there is no doubt that he will prove extremely influential in helping to maintain the London club’s position at the top of the Premier League table.
