Arsenal Fans Express Gratitude to “GOAT” Arsene Wenger for Advice to Bukayo Saka. Arsenal fans have shown their appreciation for the legendary former Gunners manager, Arsene Wenger, for the advice he gave to rising star Bukayo Saka. The details of their first meeting, which took place in December 2022 after Arsenal’s victory over West Ham, have recently been revealed.

During the meeting, Arsenal executive vice-chairman Tim Lewis accompanied Wenger to the dressing room, where Saka had the opportunity to meet the esteemed manager for the first time. Saka, showing immediate respect, addressed Wenger as “boss.” Lewis shared that Saka asked Wenger, “Boss, how can I improve?” To which Wenger dryly responded, “I think you could use your right foot a bit more.”

This revelation delighted Gunners fans, who quickly expressed their positive reactions on social media. Many supporters praised Saka for his improvement in using his weaker foot throughout the season. The term “GOAT” (Greatest of All Time) was also used to describe Wenger, highlighting the admiration fans have for his legacy at Arsenal.

Saka, who broke into the first team after Wenger’s departure, never had the opportunity to play under the iconic manager. Prior to their meeting, Saka had expressed his desire to meet Wenger, regarding it as one of his unfulfilled wishes. Nonetheless, Saka has thrived in his performances, scoring 15 goals and providing 11 assists for Arsenal last season, making him their joint top scorer.

His impressive form led to a contract extension in May, securing his future at Arsenal until the summer of 2027. Fans recognize the impact of Wenger’s advice and applaud the interaction between the two, acknowledging Saka’s willingness to take on the guidance provided by the legendary manager.
