Arsenal should consider converting Bukayo Saka into a Full-Back permanently

Bukayo Saka has made a strong action to be converted into a full back full time.

Bukayo Saka is a blessing to Arsenal this season and continues to prove his value to the team in every match.

Saka is an excellent player on the left-wing as a winger and has continuously impressed Arsenal this season as a Left-Back.

The English player of Nigerian descent has played more as left-back than as left-winger due to series of injuries that the team’s left back have suffered this season.

The player of Nigerian descent is developing into an exceptional attacking left-back and that could be the best position for him during his career.

Saka has repeatedly stated that he prefers to play as an attacker but has said he is open to play wherever the team deems fit for him.

There’s a possibility that Saka may become Arsenal’s Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Liverpool player was a midfielder as a youth team player at Liverpool and has turned out to be one of the world’s best full-backs because of his special assisting ability.

Yes, Trent Alexander-Arnold is a right-back but it is the principle I am talking about here, a young full-back that is basically a winger as well, a fully-fledged wing-back.

Almost like Trent, Saka is not the perfect defender at Arsenal, but his ability to contribute to attack makes him a valuable asset in the team.

The NFF are currently in talks to have the youngster play for the Super Eagles.
