Arsenal’s starboy Bukayo Saka was on absolute FIRE at Old Trafford this week. On international duty, the winger scored the first hat-trick of his career and was even prouder to do so while representing his country.
Everybody loves Saka. He is just one of those players that nobody can hate. I mean, defenders certainly hate having to deal with him, but off the pitch he is one the kindest and most genuine people. Saka truly is an inspiration to the younger generation and a reminder to all that footballers aren’t all money-grabbing egotistical narcissists. Most of them, like Saka, are polite and respectful to everybody they meet.

Arsenal target Declan Rice hypes up Bukayo Saka
Bukayo Saka commemorated his incredible hat-trick achievement, which included a stunning second goal which nobody (except Arsenal fans) saw coming, by posting to his Instagram account. Saka included the caption “Honoured to have scored the first hat-trick of my career! Important steps taken towards qualification”, to which Declan Rice commented a star emoji, hinting at his Staboy nickname.
Further, Declan Rice even posted a picture of him and Saka, with Saka commenting two heart emojis – One red, one white. Coincidence? I think not.

In all seriousness, we all know that Rice and Saka are mates on and off the pitch for England duty. However, the fact that Saka had commented red and white emojis on Rice’s post has fans thinking that Saka has turned into an agent, trying to secure Mikel Arteta’s ideal signing for him.
Do you think Arsenal will sign Declan Rice?
