Bukayo Saka urged to add one thing to his game to help make him a star amid Arsenal vs Leicester

Chelsea legend Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has challenged Bukayo Saka to score more goals despite his great form.

The 20-year-old, who has already established himself as one of the Premier League's brightest talents and attacking threats, is playing a major part in Arsenal's bid to qualify for the Champions League this season.

With 13 goal contributions (8 goals, 5 assists) in 26 matches heading into Sunday afternoon's clash with Leicester, Saka has undoubtedly been in great form this season and is showing why Arsenal value him as one of their biggest assets.

Hasselbaink has praised him for his recent performances. Speaking whilst on air at Sky Sports before the game, the former Chelsea striker said: "He is scoring goals, putting defences on the back foot, he has a bit of everything.

"Especially after the England saga, he has left that behind him and has continued to play his football, becoming nice an exciting and he is doing what he needs to do."

However, he has challenged him to try to find the net more in the future, something that will help make him an all-round threat.

"He is growing as a player, but one question is can he score more goals? I think so, but he is getting there. You can see that he is enjoying his football at the moment and you have to give credit to the manager because he has given him the opportunity to express himself."
