EPL: Saka is world class – Walcott hails Arsenal star
Former Arsenal forward Theo Walcott has come to the defense of Bukayo Saka, disagreeing with Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand over Ferdinand’s recent claim that the 22-year-old winger is not a world-class player.
Ferdinand stirred debate among Arsenal fans with his remarks about Saka during his VIBE with FIVE podcast.
The former England centre-back argued that Saka cannot be deemed world-class because he has yet to prove himself in the ‘nitty-gritty stages’ of the UEFA Champions League.
However, Walcott has offered his rebuttal to Ferdinand’s comments, stating, “Yeah, I mean, people are entitled to their opinion. I get it. For me, he is. His numbers are showing that, and his consistency as well, in the best league in the world.”
“Phil Foden is world class as well, all of these guys. But Saka is world class in my opinion. My son loves him,” Walcott added.
