Bukayo Saka has competition from striker Kai Havertz, who is being praised by pundits, for the title of Mikel Arteta’s most important star at Arsenal.

With nine appearances across all competitions thus far, the Germany ace has managed five goals and one assist. He has had an incredible start to the new season. This includes the first goal in Tuesday’s Champions League match between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain, which the Gunners easily won 2-0.

Former Tottenham Hotspur striker and Arsenal supporter Darren Bent praised Havertz for his outstanding performances during a talkSPORT appearance.

Saka is included in the debate on who is Arsenal’s most valuable player, the analyst stated.

He is a versatile player who can play as a No. 9, No. 8, and in possession.

“He’s a brave player who scores goals; in a season, he’s only ever had eight league goals for Chelsea and three assists.”

“He only scored three goals in a row last season, but he had 13 goals and seven assists for Arsenal. He’s become indispensable.”
