Jordan Henderson has predicted Bukayo Saka to have a very bright future ahead of Arsenal's Premier League clash against Liverpool.
The north Londoners travel to Anfield on Sunday afternoon, a ground they have famously struggled at - failing to win in the league there since 2012. However, Mikel Arteta's side are a different animal this season, currently sitting five points clear at the top of the table whilst the Reds have struggled, languishing in eighth.
Ahead of the highly-anticipated match, Reds midfielder Henderson has been lauding Gunners winger Saka, who has netted 12 goals and provided an additional ten assists in the league so far this season. "He’s a special person," Henderson told beIN SPORTS, via Metro when asked about the Hale End academy graduate.

"Off the pitch, he’s a really nice lad and really humble. On the pitch, he’s got absolutely everything. Especially with his age, the maturity, the decision making he makes within games.
"He scores goals, defends, works hard and never really loses the ball. He’s so strong when he’s holding people off.
"He has absolutely everything and the future is very bright for him at Arsenal and hopefully England as well. He’s a fantastic player."
Saka will be hoping he can enjoy a similar performance to the one he put in during the reverse fixture between the two sides back in October, when Arsenal won 3-2, with the 21-year-old scoring twice.
