Arsenal attacker Bukayo Saka has described Al Nassr striker, Cristiano Ronaldo as his idol.
Saka in a chat with Blazers podcast, stated that he’s amazed the former Real Madrid star is still going strong with Al Nassr at 39 years of age.
“Personally, I can’t (imagine playing as long as the 39-year-old), and that’s why I have so much respect for him,” says Saka on the Men in Blazers podcast.
“When I was younger, he was my idol.
“But now that I’m playing football at a professional level, I have even more respect for him, how he’s managed to be so disciplined and so focused and achieve everything he’s achieved. He is special.”
Recall that Saka was named Arsenal men’s Player of the Month for February after amassing the most votes from our supporters.
The attacker polled 56 per cent of the votes to claim the prize ahead of Martin Odegaad, Kai Havertz and Declan Rice, which is his second monthly award of the campaign after also clinching the silverware in September..
