• Winger has been working with Ljungberg since age of 15• Saka says after shining at Frankfurt that he studies RonaldoThe
Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka paid tribute to the influence of Freddie Ljungberg after producing a scintillating display in Thursday night’s 3-0 win at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Saka, who turned 18 on 5 September, was virtually unplayable on only his second senior start, setting up goals for Joe Willock and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and bending in a sublime strike of his own. It was a triumphant night in particular for Arsenal’s academy, where their former player Ljungberg – these days an assistant to Unai Emery – coached Saka and the 20-year-old Willock.
