Former Liverpool star Jose Enrique heaps praises on Arsenal star following his recent achievement
Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka won the Premier League's Player of the Month award for the month of March. Former Liverpool defender Jose Enrique took to Twitter to express his admiration for the young player's talent, calling Saka's win well-deserved.
There's no denying that the Englishman was absolutely sensational in March, leaving a trail of impressive performances that could hardly be ignored. He scored a crucial goal and provided an assist during Arsenal's 4-0 win over Everton.
Saka then secured a brace in a 4-1 win against Crystal Palace while setting up yet another goal for his team. It's safe to say that the youngster was at the very top of his game this March, leaving his opponents in the dust and his teammates in awe.
After the announcement of Saka's win, Enrique took to Twitter to praise the winger, writing:
"What a player. Very well deserved it"

Saka's win didn't come without competition, as he had to beat out some truly incredible players to claim the top spot. His teammate Leandro Trossard and Newcastle United's Alexander Isak were both fierce competitors. Liverpool's Mohamed Salah, Brighton & Hove Albion's Alexis Mac Allister, and Aston Villa's Tyrone Mings were nominated as well.
However, it was Saka who ultimately emerged victorious, proving once again that he is truly one of the best young players in the Premier League.
