Arsenal fans say Bukayo Saka is a legend after Premier League triumph
One fan named Saka as well as Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba as potential Arsenal legends while asking fellow supporters to name others: “Who are our new club legends now? Want to say [Martin] Odegaard, Saliba Gabriel and Saka. Idk [I don’t know] if it’s too early feels like they need another PL/UCL [Premier League/Champions League] maybe.”

A fourth Arsenal fan vouched for the 24-year-old due to his impressive productivity and consistency over the years, writing: “Saka’s a club legend already just on pure appearances made, goals, assists, consistent seasonal output and of course, a Prem but the rest a little more years is all that needed.”
