What Arsenal star Bukayo Saka does at Mikel Arteta's 'super intense' training sessions

Matt Turner has heaped praise on Arsenal superstar Bukayo Saka after his incredible 2022/23 season. The winger, 21, has already made over 170 appearances for the club and is one of Mikel Arteta's most influential players.

Saka has scored 36 goals and assisted another 39 since making his professional debut in November 2018 under Unai Emery. In the past two campaigns, the Hale Ender has emerged as one of the Premier League's best players.

The forward is expected to sign a new contract in north London, football.london understands, making him one of the best-paid figures at the club.

This season has been Saka's best by far with 23 goal contributions in 40 games. Alongside his contribution for the Gunners in England, Saka also played a key part in England's run to the quarter-final in the Qatar World Cup by scoring three goals in four appearances.

It isn't just Saka's on-field quality that has been noticed this season. Now, teammate Turner has lauded the 21-year-old's mentality in training. Speaking on CBS Sports' brand new 'Morning Footy' show on Wednesday, the USMNT goalkeeper said: "He's got a good head on his shoulders.

"He's got the right mentality every day. Our training sessions are super intense. I just had a kid & I get to training early. & he's usually there either before me or right after."
