Saka's latest Arsenal assist leads to Bergkamp comparison

The 18-year-old has been compared to some Premier League legends after his display in Athens

Bukayo Saka’s stunning breakthrough season continued with another assist in Arsenal’s Europa League win at Olympiacos, with his performance labelled “world class” by former Gunners striker Robin van Persie.

The 18-year-old provided the low cross that was converted by Alexandre Lacazette with nine minutes left to give Mikel Arteta's side an impressive victory in their last-32 first-leg clash in Athens.

No other Arsenal player has provided more assists this season than the nine now laid on by Saka, who also has three goals to his name.
