Kolo Toure claims that he sees a bit of Thierry Henry in Bukayo Saka. Arsenal legend Kolo Toure has compared Bukayo Saka to Thierry Henry. He claims that the wonderkid would get into Arsene Wenger’s legendary 2003/04 team. Manchester City are in the driving seat now. But Arsenal still have a chance to win their first League title since Henry and Toure lifted the trophy almost two decades ago. Toure believes Saka will be key.
What Kolo Toure said about Bukayo Saka
Toure, who played with some greats back in the day, has been really pleased with Bukayo Saka. He has scored 14 goals and provided 11 assists so far. Saka is one of the biggest reasons why the Gunners are on top of the Premier League table.
He in a recent interview said:-
“It’s money time now. This is when Michael Jordan makes his money because he’s the one who will make the difference. They give him the ball when the pressure is on.“
“This Arsenal team has Bukayo Saka. This boy has a special talent.”
“Thierry Henry was special. He was always the guy who carried the team, who pushed us. In the dressing room at half-time he would come in and be kicking things, shouting. It was scary but you could see this was a guy who is willing to do everything to win.“
“Saka, he has passion, he has desire, he has technique, he has everything. When a game is tight and I see one player willing to take the ball under pressure and make the difference, that is what we love. In the coming games, he has to show that age is nothing. It is about the talent.”
However, Manchester City have been in this situation many times and come out as Champions. Arsenal now have a young squad which could compete for the big ones in the coming years.
