Bukayo Saka aims to equal Arsenal record set by Ian Wright

Bukayo Saka, Arsenal’s talented winger, is on a path of etching his name in the records books by matching a remarkable 29-year-old record set by Arsenal hero Ian Wright. Saka’s incredible run of form has made him an essential player in Mikel Arteta’s side this season, and his potential brilliance is the talk of the town.

Saka has scored or assisted in seven of his eight league matches for the Gunners this season, closing up an outstanding season for the 22-year-old. His ability to both score goals and create chances for his teammates has stood out him.

Alexis Sanchez came close to achieving a similar feat for Arsenal seven years ago. However, Ian Wright’s remarkable streak in 1994 was the last time an Englishman managed this kind of consistency in goal involvements.

Wright’s record was exceptional in that he focused completely on scoring, achieving a seven-game scoring run against hard opponents. Saka’s contributions include both goals and assists, showing his flexibility and value to the team.

Mikel Arteta has been open in his support of Saka’s leadership abilities, securing his place among the squad’s leadership group. As the Gunners prepare to face Sheffield United, the spotlight will be on Saka, hoping to equal Ian Wright’s renowned record and secure his position in Arsenal’s illustrious history.
