Arsenal’s main man Bukayo Saka has been rewarded for an excellent 2022/2023 campaign that saw him and his fellow Gunners challenge for the Premier League title.
Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka has emerged as the best winger in the world for the 2022/2023 season ahead of Manchester City’s Riyad Mahrez and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia of SSC Napoli.
Pulse Sports Nigeria can confirm that Saka was named ahead of the brilliant duo in the ESPN FC 100 released on Tuesday evening.

Saka tops winger list
The Arsenal star was named top of the winger’s list in the ESPN FC 100 list ahead of Mahrez and Kvaratskhelia who both ended the season with league titles in England and the Serie A.
Saka proved to be a decisive force in what was an excellent 2022/2023 campaign for the Gunners.
According to the ESPN report, the youngster overcame defining moments in the Euro 2020, when he was insulted and abused for missing a penalty, to develop his game into the best winger in the world.
