3. Bukayo Saka

Next up on the list is the one and only Bukayo Saka. The 19-year-old winger single handedly has Arsenal fans excited about the future. Saka, who was also a key member for England’s Euros run, is ready to hit the ground running this season and remind folks of why he’s one of the best teenagers in the world.

Saka will also be entering the new campaign with plenty of motivation. The last time we saw him in a meaningful match was against Italy in the Euro Final. Unfortunately for Saka, he missed a key penalty kick in the shootout and Italy celebrated the title win moments after.

Then, Saka was showered with racist hate on his social media accounts. It was nothing short of disgusting. Not only was he in tears after missing his PK, but then he had to face simply hateful messages once he got back to his phone.

Despite that, Saka has let fans know that he’s ready for a big year. He’s been working his tail off in training to try and help the Gunners get ready for a big season. It’s been a rough stretch for Arsenal, but Saka, along with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, want to get back in the Top 4 hunt. We’ll see what the 19-year-old stud can get done this season.
