The Anglo-Nigerian, 17, started a first senior game and impressed for the Gunners, and is set to work hard so as to get more chance

Bukayo Saka says making his Arsenal full debut was a ‘dream come true'.

The 17-year-old winger was handed his first senior start in Thursday’s Europa League encounter against Qarabag and impressed as Alexandre Lacazette’s first-half goal saw off their visitors at the Emirates.

“It is a dream come true,” Saka told club website. “Ever since I joined the club at the age of eight I always dreamed of playing at the Emirates so for all the coaches and the fans to support me tonight was really good.
