Arsenal's Nigerian Winger Spotted Training With First Team Ahead Of Burnley Clash
Published: August 16, 2019Nigerian youngster Bukayo Saka trained with Arsenal's first-team at London Colney on Friday afternoon.
This is the second successive day that the promising winger has been invited to train with Arsenal stars by manager Unai Emery as he was also spotted in Thursday's workout.
In today's session, Saka was wearing a white bib and trained with the number 77 shirt.
The 17-year-old worked his way through the age groups at the Arsenal Academy before making his maiden appearance for the first team in November 2018.
Saka played five matches for Arsenal in pre-season and it shows the faith Spanish tactician Emery has in his ability.
With the likes of Nicolas Pépé, Alexandre Lacazette, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Reiss Nelson fit, the exciting prospect is unlikely to make his full Premier League debut in tomorrow's game against Burnley.
