While Saka has proven he has what it takes to lead a club to success, there has been some comparison between him and Manchester City’s Jeremy Doku. In a recent interview with Wett Basis, Arsenal legend Robert Pires controversially claimed that Doku was better than Saka, suggesting that the Arsenal winger still has areas where he needs to improve.
These comments didn’t sit well with Arsenal supporters, especially as Saka has been in fine form recently, continuing to lead Arsenal’s attack with determination and skill. Meanwhile, Doku, a talented winger in his own right, has yet to make a significant impact in terms of goal involvement this season. While Doku’s potential is clear, Saka’s consistency and leadership make him a standout performer for Arsenal.
After Arsenal’s match against PSG, where Saka did well again, the attacker took a picture with Pires and uploaded it to his Instagram account.
He captioned it: “Friends again!” with laughing emoji.

Saka has been brilliant, and the best way to respond to criticism is to do your talking on the pitch.

Can hardly think of a player in the league that is mark more heavily than the Arsenal kid Buyayo Saka.
But Pires cannot be taken too seriously, given Saka talent and treat, the better the player becomes, the bigger target they become because people trys to find ways to stop him.
But what Saka now need is an improvement in service, the type of balls played to him, it’s about timing, the decision making, the space you have generated before that action and the understanding of what is going to happen before it actually happens..
There is a growing feeling the signing of Merino is here to help improve the distribution side of the game.
The kid is not world class yet but his constant banging on the door, suggests he will enter and join that small elite group very soon.
