Former Arsenal player Tony Adams has made a very bold claim about current Gunners star Bukayo Saka, suggesting he is the second best player in world football right now.


Adams was writing in The Sun when he reacted to the form that Saka has showed for Arsenal this season but also in the most recent international break for England. He scored a superb goal against Ukraine for the Three Lions.


"If there's a better player in world football at the moment, someone who both scores and makes goals, the only one I can think of is Lionel Messi. Bukayo is absolutely on fire and the reason Arsenal are top of the table," Adams wrote.


"Erling Haaland might be scoring hundreds of goals for Manchester City and Marcus Rashford is also having a phenomenal season for United.


"But Bukayo is, hands down, the Footballer of the Year because he was England's best player at the World Cup and he's been the best player for the team eight points clear at the top of the Premier League."


Saka as a youth player

The 21-year-old has certainly become the talisman of Mikel Arteta's side and is the darling of the fans given he is a local kid. Adams recounted the first time he spoke to Saka.


"The first time I saw him was about five years ago in a youth team game at Forest Green and I could immediately tell he was something special," he said.


"I reached out to him straight away because I wanted to know who was looking after him, did he have a good family and a decent agent. He told me: 'I'm all right, Mr Adams, my family are good, this is OK, I speak to this person.' I knew then he would go a long way."The first time I saw him was about five years ago in a youth team game at Forest Green and I could immediately tell he was something special," he said.
