Bukayo Saka sends two-word message to Arsenal legend after surprise snub
Arsenal star Bukayo Saka took to social media to address Invincible Robert Pires’ claim he prefers Man City’s Jeremy Doku.
Pires, 50, drew the ire of Arsenal fans across the globe after picking the Man City star over Saka, 23, in a game of ‘winner stays on’.
The Frenchman then added in an interview with German outlet Wettbasis, that the England international still needed to improve in a number of key areas.
Saka was once again key for Mikel Arteta’s side in their impressive 2-0 Champions League victory over French champions PSG, scoring in the 35th minute with a beautiful freekick.

Doku, 22, is yet to have his first Premier League goal involvement despite starting in four of Man City’s opening six league games.
Meanwhile, Saka has been on fire in the league, providing five assists and scoring once as the Gunners seek to finally wrestle the Premier League title away from City.
Ever gracious, Saka took to Instagram to share a picture with Pires after the win, letting fans know that the two are ‘friends again’.
The North London side next face a visit from newly promoted Southampton on Saturday (October 5) in what is expected to be a routine win for the title challengers.
Level on points with City, Saka told the CBS Sports panel after the match that “this hopefully will be the year” they win the title.
