An Arsenal star has been hailed as his nation’s ‘best’ player this summer, with Mikel Arteta the main reason behind this revelation.

The Basque coach has been nothing short of extraordinary as Arsenal manager in the last four years, with Arteta transforming the Gunners from a fallen giant and a mess of a club to one of the best in the world with the biggest potential.

A driven approach to squad building mixed with the development of young players has seen Arsenal rise from the shadows under Arteta and into the light in a big way, with the north London side set for a huge future under the former Manchester City coach.

And one player this season thriving for his nation can be pinned down to work done by Arteta.

Bukayo Saka praised for England performance on skills drilled by Arteta

Speaking on TalkSport, pundit Gabriel Agbonlahor hailed Bukayo Saka for his Man of the Match performance for England against Switzerland, with the Arsenal man praised for skills drilled into him by Arteta.

Saka’s goal was something Gooners have seen before as the forward cut in from the right to fire in a low shot at the far-post by Yann Sommer, something Arteta has taught the 22-year-old after hours working together at London Colney.

Agbonlahor said when talking about Saka’s performance for England against Switzerland on Sunday: “The thing is as well, the penalty aside, his performance for me.

“He was the one player that was taking defenders on, getting to the byline, getting crosses in, taking his goal as well, he could have easily passed that and put the responsibility on someone else, but to take that strike and score that goal, he was our best player, wasn’t he?”

Arteta and Saka are a match made in heaven at Arsenal

Saka’s development at Arsenal under Arteta has been nothing short of incredible, with the winger developing into one of the best in the world since becoming a member of the first-team for both club and country.

And the pair are clearly a match made in heaven, with Arteta elevating Saka’s game to world-class levels with the 22-year-old attacker still having plenty of room left to get even better than he currently is.

Indeed, Arteta has found how to get the best out of Saka and to teach him the skills needed to get the most out of his abilities, and the winger can only get better from here, if he can stay fit.
