The 19-year-old was Arsenal’s standout performer during an otherwise disappointing season for Mikal Arteta’s side, who finished eighth in the Premier League. Henry briefly managed Saka during his time as Arsenal’s U18s boss and he admits he’s been amazed to see the winger’s dedication and enthusiasm in the first team.
