Bukayo Saka wants to leave left-back for winger at Arsenal

Bukayo Saka has plans of being a winger soon, and leave the left-back position. 

“I’m really enjoying my football under the new manager,” he said. “It’s not my natural position but he’s given me all the advice I need.

“I’ve got Granit (Xhaka) behind, David (Luiz) supporting and speaking to me so it gives me licence to go and express myself in the final third and do what I can do.

“I feel like my dream was always to be a winger, to affect games, score goals and get assists. For now I’ll do the job the manager asks me to.”

“I learned a lot about how wingers in the Premier League play against defenders and how to position myself because in his system it’s different,” he added.

“I get to play much higher because the winger comes inside and I get to go.

“There’s a lot of space for me and it’s good for me. I’m playing sort of as a winger when we have the ball but without the ball I have to come back and work on my clearances, my heading and stuff I haven’t worked on my whole life. I feel like I’m doing OK right now.”

“I just leave all that stuff to my agent and my parents,” he said. “I just enjoy my football and play my football.

“Like I said it’s for my agent. They’re sorting it out. Of course I’m enjoying my football, enjoying playing under the new coach so we’ll see what happens.”
