Arsenal let their Saka regen walk away for £0, now he’s worth £50m & outscoring Martinelli
Arsenal have become a lean, mean, winning machine on the pitch in recent years and shrewd operators off it as well.
The days of dramatically overpaying for a player who can’t deliver and letting their stars leave for next to nothing are seemingly over – at least for now, anyway.
However, even though Mikel Arteta and Edu Gaspar have steered the club in the right direction at the moment, there are still some stars the club let slip between their fingers in the past who would’ve been perfect for the team today.
In fact, one superstar who has recently made a big move was at the club as a youngster, outperformed Gabriel Martinelli last season and would’ve been the perfect Bukayo Saka rival.
Saka and Martinelli’s recent form
So, even though Arsenal couldn’t quite get over the line last year, it was another brilliant season for the North Londoners, and of all the stars at the club, Saka was probably the most magnificent.
The Hale Ender made 47 appearances for the team across all competitions and racked up a frankly ridiculous haul of 20 goals and 14 assists, equating to an average of a goal involvement every 1.38 games.
The only issue was that, due to a lack of competition, there were moments throughout the season in which he looked tired and perhaps should have been given a rest.
Ultimately, both players are fantastically talented wingers, although the former Arsenal youngster outperformed the Brazilian last year and would have been the ideal rival or backup for the Englishman.
