Arsenal fans can be too quick to call players legends, but not with Bukayo Saka

Story updated

The story in brief

29-second read

Bukayo Saka’s goal against Lille on Tuesday night took him to 14 Champions League goals for Arsenal. That puts him fourth on the club’s all-time list, one behind Theo Walcott and four behind Robin van Persie, having already moved past Cesc Fabregas and Freddie Ljungberg on 13.

To nobody’s shock, Thierry Henry is out on his own at the top with 35. We asked fans on Talking Points where they’d rank Saka among those names, and the conversation quickly turned into something bigger.

But before anyone could decide where Saka sits, there was debate around whether some of the players on that list are actually legends.
