In a conversation with Arsenal teammate Kai Havertz on ESPN recently, Bukayo Saka revealed that his idol in his youth was Cristiano Ronaldo.

Saka and new Arsenal signing Havertz were featured in an ESPN interview where the two players asked each other 20 questions. One of the most interesting questions is “Who was your childhood idol?”. Saka replied: “Cristiano Ronaldo”.

Ronaldo used to be famous as the number 1 star of Man Utd and many times made Arsenal hold a grudge in the past, even in the Champions League or the English Premier League. So Saka’s answer may not satisfy Gunners fans.

However, the anger of Arsenal fans also subsided somewhat when Saka said that he spent time watching Ronaldo when this player was still wearing Real Madrid and hardly watched the Portuguese captain play in the country. English Premier League. Saka personally believes that not all players have achieved the same achievements as Ronaldo: “A lot of other kids my age used to enjoy watching him. The amazing things he can do on the pitch, or his skills.

The way he takes his free-kicks, I think a lot of us have tried to imitate that. Of course, it is difficult to imitate Ronaldo, as he is one of the best players in the history of football.

Ronaldo can do many things that other people can’t do. As for Arsenal, I used to love the older generation of players like Thierry Henry. I love Thierry. And because I was at Arsenal, I went to the stands to watch the games. At that time, I liked Alexis Sanchez. He’s one of my favorite players.”

In the latest friendly match in the US, Saka’s Arsenal lost to Man Utd 0-2 , after two goals from Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho.
