Bukayo Saka Praises Ødegaard’s Impact After Sporting Win

After Arsenal’s 5-1 demolition of Sporting CP, Bukayo Saka made a heartfelt revelation about Martin Ødegaard’s return to the squad. Following Ødegaard’s ankle injury, which sidelined him for two months, his comeback has been a game-changer for the Gunners.

Speaking to TNT Sports, Saka shared his excitement, saying, “I couldn’t help but smile when he returned. We have such a strong rapport, and I’m delighted he’s back. I hope he stays healthy for the rest of the season.” Ødegaard’s impact was evident as Arsenal cruised past Sporting, with Saka also scoring in both the 5-1 win and the 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest.

Saka also spoke about the importance of Arsenal’s performance, noting, “This is our home. We know Sporting are a top team, but we’ve shown we can perform at the highest level. Today, everyone was exceptional.” His composed penalty at 4-1 secured the win and kept Sporting from mounting a late comeback.

With Ødegaard back and Arsenal in top form, the team is set to continue their strong run in both domestic and European competitions.
