EPL: Bukayo Saka is that man – Lescott asks Arteta to hold on to winger

Former England centre-back, Joleon Patrick Lescott, has advised Arsenal Manager, Mikel Arteta to hold on to Bukayo Saka at all costs.

Lescott in his weekly column, said Saka is a player who can be accountable.

He wrote, “But really, you need someone who is going to be playing every week, who can be accountable — and I think Bukayo Saka is that man.

“Though he’s still only young, he endured something last summer with England that most wouldn’t face in their entire career.

“I think Mikel Arteta said it himself that coming through the penalty miss has done wonders for his character and confidence — and I think he’d relish the responsibility.

“Also, from an Arsenal perspective, Saka is a player they have to keep hold of at all costs.”
