Bukayo Saka has named David Luiz and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as the two players who helped him when he broke into the Arsenal first team.
“It’s hard to say. I always talk about David Luiz and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – they both helped me a lot when I came into the team.
“How they welcomed me, for me, I was quite calm, of course coming into Arsenal, these were like my heroes, players I watched from the stands and now I have the opportunity to play with them, so it was a completely different experience for me and I didn’t know how to manage it.”

“I didn’t want to clash with anyone, so I preferred to be quieter.”
“But these guys welcomed me, helped me feel like myself, gave me advice and confidence, that push I needed.”
“You could see it when I was on the pitch, the confidence I played with. Of course that help came from them and also from the rest of my teammates, that helped me a lot too,” the English star said.Telegraph/
