He is NOT normal — Arsenal's Bukayo Saka hails Ballon d'Or favourite

Bukayo Saka is one of the most talented players in the world, and talent recognises talent.

The Arsenal man has shown huge respect to a player who's at the top of his game at the moment, Lamine Yamal.

Saka has been left stunned by the 17-year-old’s performances this season, especially in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League clash between Barcelona and Inter Milan, where Yamal scored an outstanding goal and was the best player on the pitch.

“He’s top. Honestly, doing what he is doing at his age, what can you say, he’s unreal,” Saka told Sky Sports.

“It’s not normal. No one does it. I don’t think I’ve seen that level for a 17-year-old, so credit to him.”

Yamal has also been incredibly consistent. Through 100 games, Yamal has 49 goals and assists. Messi had 55 after 100 games, but was almost 21 by the time he reached that appearance milestone.
