Ola Aina has hailed Arsenal star Bukayo Saka as the best player in the Premier League this season, despite the standout performances of several top players.
While the Premier League has seen exciting displays from players across the board, including Mohamed Salah’s impressive contributions to Liverpool, Aina has singled out Saka for his consistent brilliance.

Liverpool currently lead the league with 39 points after 16 games, thanks to Salah’s stunning form, with 15 goals and 11 assists. Meanwhile, defending champions Manchester City have struggled, with Erling Haaland scoring just 13 goals and one assist in his last 12 games.
Despite the challenges faced by some of the league’s top teams, Aina, who has been a key performer for Nottingham Forest this season, believes Saka has stood out above the rest.

Aina’s admiration for Saka was evident after Arsenal’s 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest earlier this season.
“Mo [Mohamed] Salah, fair play he does his thing. But let’s be honest here, Saka is scoring, he just performs well every game, every game,” Aina said on the Filthy Fellas podcast.
Aina has been in strong form for Forest, contributing two goals in 17 appearances, helping the team climb to fourth place in the Premier League.
