Arteta on Saka: 'I think he’s in a great moment. He’s full of | Arsenal

Arteta on Saka: "I think he’s in a great moment. He’s full of confidence. He’s been really important in recent results. His form is the highest that it’s been since I’ve been here & he has been really consistent.

We have to protect him & keep expectations where they should be. But I’m not going to put a break in his development or how much he can do week in, week out. We have to support him, give him the best possible advice & manage his minutes so he can maintain this level.

Its at the moment [a challenge to manage the minutes] because he’s a real threat, he’s involved in a lot of goals all the time & the consistency of his performances makes him a starter obviously. Its a fine balance but at the same time he’s 19 & we have to protect him.”
