Bukayo Saka’s remarkable performance in the Premier League doesn’t surprise Leandro Trossard, his Arsenal teammate. Their synergy, born from their shared time at Brighton and Hove Albion, is evident in Arsenal’s recent 1-0 win over Brentford, propelling them to the Premier League summit.
In the ongoing 2023/24 season, Trossard has found the net six times, with each goal orchestrated by the talented Saka. Saka’s adeptness at delivering crucial passes has been pivotal to Arsenal’s success, illustrated by his recent assist to Kai Havertz for the decisive goal against Brentford.
Expressing admiration for Saka, Trossard acknowledges the youngster’s profound impact on the team. Saka’s consistent ability to deliver key passes has not only impressed Trossard but also translated into on-field success.
Having moved from Brighton to Arsenal for £20 million in January, Trossard’s firsthand experience facing Saka during their Brighton days enhances his appreciation for the young player’s development. Although not directly marking Saka, Trossard recognized his immense potential and talent.
Reflecting on those times, Trossard notes, “I had to focus on my own game back then as well. But you could always see that he has such big potential. He’s such a great player.”
Saka, on the brink of reaching double figures for assists this season, has a chance to further contribute in Arsenal’s upcoming Champions League clash against Lens. A win in this match would secure their spot in the knockout rounds, showcasing the exciting potential in Arteta’s title-chasing Arsenal side.
