Garth Crooks has praised Arsenal star Bukayo Saka for his performance against Brentford at the weekend.
Arsenal got the better of Brentford at the Emirates Stadium in the London derby this past Saturday.
Saka, who can play as a midfielder, winger or full-back, scored the second goal for the Gunners in the 2-1 win in the Premier League game.
Former Tottenham Hotspur star Crooks has included Saka in his Premier League Team of the Week and has raved about him.
Crooks wrote on BBC Sport: “Arsenal seem to be finding themselves under Mikel Arteta – by investing in youth with a hint of experience. One of his most influential players, and one of the youngest, is Bukayo Saka.
“I don’t think there is any more I can say about this player that I haven’t already said. We are, however, coming into a period in the modern game when English players are starting to look attractive to the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid again.
“Although in the current climate I doubt whether they can afford the likes of Saka. Which is fortunate for Arsenal.”
Arsenal are sixth in the Premier League table at the moment with 42 points from 23 matches.
The Gunners are four points behind fourth-placed Manchester United, who have played 26 games, and are rated at 7/5 on Betfair to finish in the Champions League places.
