Former Arsenal captain Robin van Persie has hailed Bukayo Saka after the teenager provided another assist in the latest match against Leicester City.
The 18-year-old put the ball on a plate for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to score his 20th Premier League goal of the season, which fired Arsenal ahead against Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium.
Dani Ceballos' perfectly-weighted through ball unleashed Saka, who in turn cut a fine pass across the box for Aubameyang to tuck home.
That saw Saka register his 12th assist for the Gunners in all competitions, putting him behind only Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne and Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold in the rankings.
Plenty have heaped praise upon Saka following his meteoric rise into the first-team fold this season and Van Persie has once again hailed the teenager.
"Absolute brilliant run and assist from Saka," he posted on Twitter, alongside a fire emoji and the words pace, technique, vision and player.
Saka signed a new long-term deal with Arsenal last week, ending speculation about his future, and netted the first Premier League goal of his career against Wolves.
