Arsenal fans will love Cesc Fabregas' verdict on Bukayo Saka's display against Man United

Arsenal fans have got a new star to get excited about in Bukayo Saka, who once again appeared for the Gunners in the Premier League clash with Manchester United.

The 18-year-old has been thrust into the first-team picture this season and has caught the eye of supporters, scoring in the Europa League victory against Eintracht Frankfurt.

With Alexandre Lacazette out through injury, the opportunity is there for Saka to become a more regular fixture in the starting XI alongside Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Nicolas Pepe.

Among those excited about the potential of the teenager is former Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas, who took to social media to post a message about Saka.

"Saka is a player. 18 years old and showing great maturity," Fabregas posted on Twitter.

The message earned a response from Arsenal fans, many of whom continue to admire the Spaniard despite the fact he lifted a Premier League title with Chelsea after returning from Barcelona.

His comment shows that he still keeps an eye on the Gunners though and that the North London side still have a place in his heart, which is unsurprising considering his rise through the youth ranks.
