Arsenal sensation, Bukayo Saka who is having yet another superb season have gained comparison with seven time Ballon d’OR winner, Lionel Messi.

Tony Adams, have said Bukayo Saka is only next to Lionel Messi when it comes to scoring and creating goals. Adding that he was shocked when Manchester City paid £100millionto sign Jack Grealish and didn’t even try to sign Bukayo Saka.

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.

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.

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.

Tony Adams also added;

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 Saka is currently negotiating a contract renewal that would see him become the highest earner at Arsenal.
