EPL: He takes a lot of punishment – Burley hails Arsenal star


 

Former Scotland midfielder, Craig Burley has hailed Arsenal forward, Bukayo Saka following his performance in the Gunners’ Premier League 4-1 victory over Crystal Palace over the weekend.

Burley said Saka takes a lot of punishment, adding that the England international is not just talented but is also a strong player.

Speaking about Saka, Burley said (via ESPN): “He is not only an extremely talented young boy, he’s a strong boy. And he takes a lot of punishment. He gets a lot of kicks.

“I was thinking back to the World Cup, particularly the France game, he got no protection.”

“He got kicked all over the place, so he takes a lot of that because he takes the ball in, he’s got good strength. But then he’s got great feet, good balance, a lovely left foot, good pace as well.”
