Alex Iwobi has revealed that Bukayo Saka's dribbling ability almost got him in trouble with the senior Arsenal players when he broke into the side.
“When he first came up to train [in the] first team [he] never complained. All the players gave him that respect because he was doing his thing in training,” said Iwobi.
“I know some players will get a bit offended because it’s like a young man dribbling past. The thing is, a lot of Arsenal youngsters are cold and he was raw then. So that left foot just jinky mi jinky go past a few, man.
“Now he’s doing it on a consistent basis. We’ve seen it. I’ve seen it anyway.” Not only is he a great player, he’s humble as well.
“Like he was eager to learn, he listens [and] doesn’t argue back. For example, he treats the dinner ladies the same way he’ll treat us, man.”
Saka made his senior debut for the club in November 2018 in a UEFA Europa League match against Vorskla Poltava. His Premier League debut followed on January 1 2019 against Fulham, a game he replaced Iwobi.
The Nigerian has since moved to Everton while Saka has developed into one of the club's most important players.
