Bukayo Saka, the dynamic Arsenal winger and one of the brightest young talents in world football, has opened up about his personal ambitions and the Gunners’ goals for the season. Speaking with his trademark humility and determination, Saka shed light on his mindset and the collective spirit driving Arsenal forward.
In a candid moment, Saka reflected on his approach to dealing with the pressures and scrutiny of professional football. “I feel like I know what I want to achieve in the game,” he said. “People are always going to talk regardless of whether I do something or whether I don’t do it. Even if we win, people will still talk. So, my mentality is just ‘do your thing and live your life’ because people are going to talk regardless.”
The 22-year-old’s words reveal a player with a mature outlook, unfazed by external criticism and laser-focused on his journey. This mindset has been evident in Saka’s performances this season, as he continues to deliver match-winning displays for Arsenal in both domestic and European competitions. Arsenal has made a strong start to the campaign. The Gunners are currently lying third on the league log with just 6 points behind league leaders, Liverpool.
Saka also addressed the ambitions of Arsenal as a team, boldly stating their desire to compete for the biggest prizes. “We’re not scared of saying we want to win the Premier League or Champions League this season,” he declared. This statement underlines the growing confidence within Mikel Arteta’s squad, who have emerged as serious contenders after narrowly missing out on the Premier League title last season.
With Saka as one of their key players, His ability to combine dazzling individual brilliance with a relentless work ethic embodies the team’s philosophy. Alongside stars like Martin Ødegaard, Thomas Partey and Gabriel Jesus, Saka is determined to lead Arsenal to glory and end their long wait for a major trophy.
As Saka himself said, “Do your thing and live your life.” If Arsenal continues on their current trajectory, Saka and his teammates could soon be living the dream of Premier League and Champions League triumphs.
