Arsenal star Bukayo Saka can join Premier League legends Harry Kane and Dennis Bergkamp in unique roster
Bukayo Saka could equal the record set by Harry Kane and Dennis Bergkamp when he lines up for Arsenal this weekend.
The talented winger will be part of the Gunners team that will travel to face Sheffield United on Monday night, a clash that will be broadcast exclusively live on talkSPORT.
Saka comes into the game in impressive form, having scored in his last five Premier League games, a run that includes a brace in his last two away games.
They include the 5-0 victory over Burnley and the 6-0 to West Hamin which Saka was influential.
As a result, the 22-year-old could equal a Premier League record by scoring twice against the Blades at Bramall Lane.
Only Kane and Bergkamp have managed to score two goals in more than two consecutive away games, and both have scored a double in three consecutive away games.
Such a feat would put Saka in the company of two Premier League legends, opening up discussion about his world-class credentials.
Fernando River has been a notable critic winger, with the Manchester United legend claiming that the Arsenal star could not yet be considered a world-class player, and Saka himself saying he had “no comment” to make on the claims.
However, dear Gunners, great. Ian Wright He thinks Saka may feel aggrieved by Ferdinand's comments.
speaking in his Wrighty's House Podcastthe former striker said: “If I were him (Saka), I'd probably be a bit pissed off about that.
“And I'd probably be a little mad at Rio for mentioning it as it is, because it's the narrative of everything, especially when you listen to TNT.
“And now it is something that I would be very interested in seeing his relationship with Rio.
“For me, let's face it, he's one of the most decorated players, and him coming up with that kind of talk doesn't help. It doesn't help at all.
“In that particular situation, I was very disappointed because it's not necessary.”
