Arsenal have unearthed a gem in Bukayo Saka, according to Martin Keown.
An injury to Alexandre Lacazette has opened the door for the 18-year-old and he's responded with impressive showings against Eintracht Frankfurt, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest.
On arguably his biggest test to date, Saka claimed an assist for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as the Gunners drew 1-1 with Manchester United on Monday night and caught the eye of club legend Martin Keown in the process.
"Arsenal had to show plenty of determination to come back from 1-0 down at Old Trafford," Keown wrote in his Daily Mail column. "Let's not forget this is a team that has struggled away from home under Unai Emery, especially against the Big Six.
"London-born lad Bukayo Saka embodied that fighting spirit on Monday night.
"The 18-year-old winger caused Manchester United all sorts of problems, and it was his quick-thinking which saw Arsenal leave with a point.
"The moment Saka picked up the ball after a misplaced pass by Axel Tuanzebe in the 58th minute, he did not hesitate.
"With one touch, he put Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang through. It looked easy, but do not underestimate this pass. It was the earliness of that ball which hurt United. He read the situation.
"Harry Maguire was trying to race back because he was playing his opponent onside. Saka had to be quick, and he was.
"He fed Aubameyang, and it became 1-1. Arsenal look like they have unearthed a gem in Saka. He looked like the £72million winger on show.
"That is not meant as a dig at Nicolas Pepe, their summer signing from Lille, but rather a compliment for Saka. Only a deflection denied him scoring the winner, too. What a talent he looks.
"Special mention also has to go to Matteo Guendouzi for his performance on Monday night. He was popping up everywhere.
"Whenever there was a problem, he was there, stamping it out. The 20-year-old midfielder put in a shift and a half here."
