Saka overtakes another great Arsenal 7️⃣ with assists against Saints 🙌

Bukayo Saka has been the assist king in the Premier League so far this season, with his latest pair against Southampton making it seven already for Arsenal’s no.7.

It also saw him go past Robert Pires’ in the all-time rankings.

Saka has had at least one assist in in six games this season, with the 4-2 win against Leicester last weekend being the only exception, making it 42 in his young career in red and white.

It means he has one more than one of the club’s true greats, and a key member of the Invincibles, in the post-1992 league era.

Saka is now sixth in the club’s Premier League assist charts, level with Theo Walcott. Dennis Bergkamp is top of the list with 94, but with Saka having just turned 23, time is on his side to chase it down!

To top things off, he got Arsenal’s third goal as they came from behind to defeat Russell Martin’s side.
