Arsenal legend Tony Adams claims Bukayo Saka is the BEST player in world football right now besides Lionel Messi - and urges Mikel Arteta to build his entire side around the England star in a bid to conquer Europe

Arsenal and England star Bukayo Saka is the best player in world football apart from World Cup winner Lionel Messi, ex-Gunners captain Tony Adams has claimed.

Saka, who has been Mikel Arteta's talisman at the Emirates this season with 22 goal contributions in 28 league appearances, is bidding to clinch Arsenal's first title in two decades - and is impressing on the international stage as well.

Continuing to impress under England boss Gareth Southgate, the 21-year-old winger netted a glorious goal from outside the box against Ukraine on Sunday, helping the Three Lions remain at the top of their Euro 2024 qualifying group with a 2-0 victory.
