"A positive comparison": Arteta likens Saka to Ronaldo

Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka has long been a cornerstone of Mikel Arteta’s team, and the manager isn't shy about comparing his star player to some of the Premier League’s most iconic figures.

Details: Ahead of Arsenal’s clash with Manchester United, Arteta highlighted Saka’s potential to follow in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo, a legend at Old Trafford.

Quote: "Moving forward is always a good thing. The way Cristiano started his career and when he joined Manchester United, nobody probably expected what he would achieve in his first few seasons.

It’s all about his mentality, his work ethic, how he developed his skill set, his interaction with the team, and playing in a side that was also capable of dominating. That is very, very important. I think Bukayo understands this, and if he strives for it, I think that’s a positive comparison," Arteta stated.
