One of the Premier League’s most talented stars has joined the Centurion Club, but this is just the beginning of Saka’s accession to establishing himself as an Arsenal great.
To reach that milestone before the age of 21 must be a surreal feeling! How does it feel to now be a part of Arsenal’s Centurion Club?
Bukayo Saka: It feels crazy you know! It’s a dream I’ve had since young, so to be able to turn that into a reality is an unbelievable feeling.
Speaking of dreams, when you were a youngster in the playground pretending to score for Arsenal, does the reality of your life now match-up to that?
“I’ve spent more than half my life as an Arsenal player! I’ve had so many great memories with this club, and I’m about to make so many more.”
“I feel like I can be free and play the football I love playing because I know that everyone is behind me. That is such an amazing feeling, and it’s one I’ll never take for granted.”
“Religion just allows me to keep faith that God’s plan is perfect, and therefore, there is nothing for me to worry about.”
“When I scored my first NLD goal, wow. Being able to see my family and have them experience that with me, that was a moment I will never forget.”
Thinking back, do you think there’s anything you would have done on this journey differently?
Absolutely not. Everything I’ve done up until this point I’ve learned from, and it’s made me who I am. I honestly wouldn’t change anything.
What does the future hold for Bukayo Saka, what’s on the ‘New Horizon’?
Winning. I want to win as much as possible with this club.
I want us to win trophies and continue to make history because that’s what Arsenal deserves.
