Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has this weekend moved to reveal his appreciation for the talents of Barcelona youngster Lamine Yamal.
This of course comes ahead of a potential meeting between the pair on the continent in the very near future.
Barcelona and Arsenal both find themselves battling for a place in the finale of the Champions League at present, in semi-final ties against Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain respectively.
In Lamine’s case, the 17-year-old proved himself the star of the show on Wednesday, as Barcelona battled back from two goals down to secure a 3-3 first-leg draw.
Such exploits have since culminated in widespread chatter across the world of football, with Lamine widely highlighted as the game’s very best right winger.
Leading competition in the conversation for as much comes in the form of none other than Bukayo Saka, who, during an interview with Sky Sports on Saturday, was asked for his take on Lamine’s talents.
And the England international was not at all shy in admitting:
“Lamine Yamal? He is unreal. In my life, I have never seen this level of football from a 17-year-old. What he does at this age… what can we say?”
