The Two Nigerian Records That Could Be Broken By Saka : Arsenal Winger Named In 18 Vs Vorskla Poltava
Published: November 29, 2018
Bukayo Saka has moved a step closer in his bid to break the record of Nigeria's youngest debutant for Premier League side Arsenal after he was named in their match day squad for this evening's Europa League meeting against Vorskla Poltava.
It was not certain that the Hale End Academy product would be included in the 18 as manager Unai Emery earlier named 20 players on the provisional roster for the trip to Kiev on Wednesday.
With one eye on the North London derby vs Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, the Spanish tactician took ten youngsters to Kiev, including Bukayo Saka.
Saka will become the youngest player of Nigerian descent to debut for Arsenal
if he comes off the bench against the Ukrainians, aged 17 years, 2 months, 24 days.
It is also worth noting that the winger cum fullback will become the youngest player of Nigerian descent to feature in the Europa League if he gets game time.
Arsenal Starting XI Vs Vorskla Poltava : Cech, Lichtsteiner,
Jenkinson, Holding, Maitland-Niles, Guendouzi, Elneny, Willock, Ramsey,
Smith Rowe, Nketiah.
Substitutes: Martinez, Osei-Tutu, Medley, Gilmour, Saka, Mkhitaryan, John-Jules
