Arsenal midfielder Saka, in an interview, expressed his deep affection for his three former teammates who left the team this summer - Smith-Rowe, Nketiah and Nelsen - and also had high hopes for their performance in the new Premier League season. With Smith-Rowe and Nelsen joining Fulham and Nketiah moving to Crystal Palace, Arsenal's squad has changed somewhat, but Saka's affection for his teammates has not diminished.
"I'm not going to lie, I do miss them a little bit." Saka confessed, "Ever since I joined the first team, they have welcomed me with brotherly love and given me great support and help. I do feel a little hard to see them leave the team. But on the other hand, I am sincerely happy for them because they are all top players with outstanding strength, and I believe that in the new team, they can also shine and achieve better results."
Talking about the joining of newcomer Sterling, Saka was full of expectation and confidence. He said: "We are very happy to have a player like Sterling. I have played alongside him in the England national team and have a full understanding of his ability. I have been following him for many years and am very familiar with his technique and style of play. I am confident that Sterling will be able to bring his special abilities to Arsenal and help us achieve more victories."
Saka's speech not only shows his deep affection for his former teammates, but also expresses a positive attitude towards the adjustment of the team's lineup in the new season. He believes that Arsenal will work together in the new season, whether it is the players who stay in the team or the new teammates, to fight for more honors and victories for the team.
