'I can't put it into words' - Emotional Bukayo Saka reveals how Arsenal honour left him 'speechless' amid flying start to the season

Premier League

Bournemouth

Arsenal

<p>With Gunners skipper Martin Odegaard ruled out through injury, England international Saka was asked to provide on-field leadership during a crucial Premier League clash with fellow title hopefuls Manchester City. He then led Arsenal out in a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-bukayo-saka-playfights-ufc-legend-conor-mcgregor-emirates-pitch-arsenal-champions-league-psg/blt3aa646450bdfab03" target="_blank">Champions League meeting with Paris Saint-Germain at Emirates Stadium</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Academy graduate Saka, who is just 23 years of age, has told <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/bukayo-saka-praises-arsenals-development-on-and-off-the-pitch-and-its-role-in-the-hype-around-london/ " target="_blank"><em>CBS Sports</em></a> of his reaction to being asked by Mikel Arteta to take on captaincy duties: “That's one of the things where I become speechless when people ask me. Everyone knows my journey, where I came from. To take the captain's armband, walk the lads out at the Emirates Stadium. I can't put it into words.”</p>

WHAT SAKA SAID

<p>Saka has proven himself deserving of such an honour, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/bukayo-saka-emulates-arsenal-legend-thierry-henry-winger-gunners-assist-man-city/bltc86dda1ea8418885" target="_blank">236 appearances taken in for Arsenal</a>. He now fills their No.7 jersey and added on being a source of inspiration to fans – young and old – around the world: “When the new kits come out you see it across all of London. I'm always looking out to see if someone has my number on. It's always a nice feeling when you see a little kid or an older man wearing one of my shirts. I never take it for granted and if I can give them a bit of my time, a bit of love back to them, I'll try to do that too.”</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Saka has registered three goals for the Gunners this season and will be back in domestic action on October 19 when taking in a trip to Bournemouth – with there two <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/bukayo-saka-future-england-captain-three-lions-alan-shearer-arsenal/blt528ce540fe1257cb" target="_blank">UEFA Nations League fixtures with England</a>, against Greece and Finland, to occupy his thoughts prior to that.</p>
