Bukayo Saka is one of Arsenal’s best players.
The England international came through the ranks at the club’s academy, broke into the first team and became the face of the project under Mikel Arteta when he was still a teenager.
Saka is up there with the elite in world football now, and he is a part of the leadership group at the Emirates Stadium as well.
Now, the 24-year-old has done something that Arsenal fans and perhaps even Gabriel Martinelli will love.
Arsenal star Bukayo Saka gets the better of Tottenham’s Djed Spence in England training
Bukayo Saka is currently in the England camp, getting ready for their games against Wales and Latvia.
The Arsenal number seven missed the last international camp due to injury, but he is fit now and looking really good.
In training ahead of the clash against Wales, Saka found himself in a 1v1 situation against Tottenham defender Djed Spence.
On Rio Ferdinand’s podcast, the Spurs star annoyed many Arsenal fans not too long ago by bursting out laughing when he was asked if Martinelli would beat him in a 1v1.
To be fair to Spence, he is very good in 1v1 situations, but there are wingers in the world who can make him look silly.
Arsenal star Saka is one of them, and he did just that in England training on Wednesday.
The Hale End graduate charged forward with the ball, cut inside and smashed a lovely finish past the goalkeeper into the back of the net.
Spence looked lost for a second and was even heading in the opposite direction when Saka decided to cut inside. He will not want to watch that back.
Arsenal fans react to Bukayo Saka embarrassing Djed Spence
Arsenal fans have heard a lot from their Spurs counterparts in recent months, saying that Spence is better than Arteta’s full-backs.
That was never true, and after Saka bamboozled the Tottenham defender, Gooners are having the last laugh.
One Arsenal fan said: “The NLD couldn’t possibly arrive any sooner.”
Another wrote: “Djed Spence getting spun in every single clip makes this so much better.”
“The things Saka is gonna do to Spence in NLD will be huge,” tweeted another.
