Bukayo Saka aims to become 'hero of the new generation' as he bids for Arsenal and England glory to cap meteoric rise

The rising star of Arsenal and English football is setting his sights on greater accolades by triumphing on the biggest stages of club and international football. His meteoric rise has seen him evolve into one of the Premier League's most exceptional players, garnering praise for his versatility, creativity, and goal-scoring prowess.

Off the pitch, Saka's popularity knows no bounds, with fans of both Arsenal and the England national team clamouring for his attention. The humble youngster acknowledges the adoration of supporters and has vowed to emerge as the Messiah for the Gunners & Three Lions faithful.

In an interview with L'Equipe, Saka said: “I know what it’s like to be in their place. I can see myself in them. At their age, I was the same. Now, I want to be the hero of the new generation”.

This season, Saka has been instrumental for Arsenal, contributing 16 goals and 13 assists in 37 appearances across all competitions. His stellar performances have played a pivotal role in Arsenal's resurgence as they once again find themselves in contention for the Premier League title.

“The more you grow, the more certain things motivate you," he said.

"Making my debut with Arsenal, playing in the Champions League, being called up for England. Now, there are other ambitions. I always had this determination to succeed. If you don’t believe in yourself, you create problems for yourself. Of course I had my issues, the usual ones you face in life, but I always try, and still do try to eliminate fear from my mind.”

As Arsenal prepare for a crucial showdown against Manchester City in the Premier League this Sunday, there is little doubt that Saka would once again be in the spotlight. With his exceptional talent and unwavering determination, it may only be a matter of time before he adds to his trophy cabinet and further solidifies his status as a true footballing icon.
