Bukayo Saka has continued his impressive form for club and country.

The young forward has already established himself as one of the best wingers in the Premier League.

Last season, he was directly involved in 25 goals just six less than Mo Salah.

The 22-year-old was recently named among the 30 nominees for the 2023 Ballon d’Or and is already considered one of the best players in the world.

Saka has already registered two goals and two assists in his first five games of the new campaign.

He’s being likened to two of the best forwards in the world Messi and Salah by former England player Joe Cole.

‘You can’t defend [against Saka] because he’s got this ability like Lionel Messi where he takes it backwards,’ Cole told Channel 4.

‘So the defender, you can stop him but he takes it back and he’s still got the ability to whip it with so much power.

‘There’s only a few [players] – Mo Salah’s got it, Lionel Messi’s got it and Bukayo Saka’s got it. When he gets in that position, he’s clinical.’
