Former Arsenal forward, Theo Walcott has defended Bukayo Saka while disagreeing with Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand over his claim that the 22-year-old winger is not a world-class player.
Ferdinand recently upset Arsenal fans with his comments about Saka on his VIBE with FIVE podcast.
The former England centre-back argued that Saka cannot be considered world class because he is yet to prove himself in the ‘nitty-gritty stages’ of the UEFA Champions League.
However, Walcott has now offered his response to Ferdinand.
“Yeah, I mean, people are entitled to their opinion,” Walcott said at the London Football Awards on Thursday.
“I get it. For me, he is. His numbers are showing that and his consistency as well in the best league in the world.
“Phil Foden is world class as well, all of these guys. But Saka is world class in my opinion. My son loves him.”
