Gabriel Jesus expressed his admiration for Bukayo Saka, stating that he is “in love” with his Arsenal teammate. Hence, Jesus emphasized that he has always recognized Saka’s potential for a great career. These comments were made on beIN Sports after Arsenal secured the top spot in their Champions League group with a resounding 6-0 victory over Lens.
Arsenal dominated their opponents as six different players contribute to finding the back of the net. With Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka among the goal scorers. Meanwhile, it was Saka who provided the assist for Jesus’s impressive goal in the first half. Saka currently leads the chart for most goals and assists in this Champions League season.
The ascent of Bukayo Saka over the past five years is no surprise to Arsenal fans. Meanwhile, it appears that Gabriel Jesus shared the same confidence in the England international’s potential. Gabriel Jesus expressed that he has been a fan of Saka for a long time. His admiration for Saka has only intensified since donning the Arsenal jersey in 2022.
What did Gabriel Jesus say about his Arsenal teammate Saka?
Jesus said: “When I played against him I already thought he had a lot of potential to achieve very good things in his career. But also I’m more in love with him because he’s such a nice guy, so humble. I’m happy for him because he deserves it.”
Bukayo Saka’s seven goal contributions in five games represent an absolutely exceptional return. The prospect of his continued improvement in the years to come is daunting. Saka initially entered the Arsenal side during a period when the team appeared to lack direction, and he swiftly emerged as one of the few positive aspects during that time.
Saka has evolved into a talismanic figure, amassing seven goals and nine assists in both the league and Champions League this season. The Englishman has contributed to 95 goals in 198 games across all competitions.
With the addition of players like Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard to the Arsenal squad, it seems only a matter of time before Bukayo Saka adds more silverware to his collection. The strengthened squad suggests promising prospects for success in the near future.
