Ian Wright defends Bukayo Saka after Rio Ferdinand claims

Bukayo Saka has been among the most in form players in the Premier League this season. Arsenal have come right back into the title race, after winning six back to back games. They have scored 25 goals in this process, as they sit just two points behind the leaders Liverpool now.

Recently, Rio Ferdinand made a claim that Bukayo Saka is not among the best players in the world at the moment. This did not go down well with Ian Wright who believes that the statement was unnecessary and ridiculous.

"If I'm him [Saka], I'm probably a little bit p***ed off about that. And I'd probably be a bit p***ed off with Rio about it for bringing it up like it is because it's the narrative of everything, especially when you listen to TNT."

"And so, it's something now, I'd be very interested to see his relationship going on with Rio, who for me, let's face it, one of the most decorated players, to come with that kind of conversation does not help. It doesn't help at all. In that particular situation, I was very disappointed with that because it's not needed."
