Bukayo Saka, a right winger for Arsenal in Premier League, demonstrates exceptional talent in some key areas integral to his position. In the 2023-24 season, Saka shows strong possession skills, with above-average ball recovery and ball retention. This correlates to his high ranking in touches, implying that he is frequently in possession and that Arsenal tends to control the game when he is on the field. Being 21, he showcases impressive potential for midfield and defensive contributions with his commendable performance in duels and penalty area defending.
Saka excels in offensive play, particularly at chance creation and posing a goal threat. Although his goal efficiency not particularly high, it is offset by his impressive expected assists (xA) and expected goals (xG), suggesting his direct attacks are both frequent and likely to result in scores, with his assist and shooting capabilities well above average. Saka's lower percentile in progressive carrying indicates that while he tends to control the ball comfortably, quick transitions up the field may not be his strongest point.
In 1v1 defending, Saka may have room for improvement. Despite being a winger, he shows above-average capability, pointing to his versatility as a player, yet not rising up to the level of his other skills. Given his age, Saka has plenty of time for further development, promising a high-value, all-rounded player for the team. His dual threat in chance creation and in possession indicates he is not only key to Arsenal's offensive
