Arsenal's Bukayo Saka Says He Is Looking to Emulate Cristiano Ronaldo

Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka has identified Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo among his role models.

Saka spoke after playing a starring role in the Gunners' 3-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday.

When asked who his idol was, per Goal's Charles Watts, he said:

"Cristiano Ronaldo. I love his mentality. He always wants to be the best, is always working hard on and off the pitch and trying to make his body the best.

"When he gets on the pitch he performs with full confidence and full personality and shows why he's one of the best players to ever play football.
