Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka has once again proven how much talent he has at his feet with an impressive start to the season at Arsenal. The 21-year-old has made 20 appearances in all competitions thus far, scoring five goals and notching six assists.
Mikel Arteta's side have shot to the top of the Premier League table and have some impressive stats to back up their rapid rise to the summit. The Gunners have won 12 of their 14 league games, scoring 33 goals in the process and keeping seven clean sheets.
Based on how well Arsenal have played as a team this season, it would be very difficult to highlight a particular player who has impressed as any one of the 12 core first-team players could certainly make a claim for the label.

William Saliba, Gabriel Martinelli and Granit Xhaka are the names most commonly mentioned when discussing the Premier League team of the season thus far, with the World Cup break set to pause domestic football in England until December 26.
However, despite impressive attacking returns after making the right wing position his own, Saka is not mentioned often despite consistently being one of Arsenal's best performers. His tantalizing displays in red have earnt him a spot in Gareth Southgate's World Cup squad.
The best forwards in the world are set to be on show at the World Cup with Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Saka's England team-mate Harry Kane, who won the golden boot in the 2018 World Cup, all representing their countries in Qatar.
After an impressive few campaigns, Saka can certainly consider himself to be close to that list, as well as another French star in Ousmane Dembele, who has battled back from numerous injuries to win a spot in Didier Deschamps squad after top displays with Barcelona this season.
Former Arsenal and French midfielder Emmanuel Petit was asked by 90min France to pick one of the two, with the 52-year-old opting for the Arsenal star.
Petit said: “I really like Bukayo Saka. I really like Ousmane Dembele too. It’s true that Bukayo Saka… I actually love the boy. I love what he does on the pitch, and I love his personality.
“So, (I’d) rather (have) Bukayo Saka.”
