According to former Arsenal captain and England international Bukayo Saka, Lionel Messi is not the best player in the world of football.
Saka, who has been Mikel Arteta’s talisman at the Emirates this season with 22 goal contributions in 28 league outings, is attempting to win Arsenal’s first championship in 20 years and is also making waves on the international stage.
The 21-year-old winger, who is continuing to shine under England manager Gareth Southgate, scored a beautiful goal from outside the box against Ukraine on Sunday, helping the Three Lions retain first place in their Euro 2024 qualifying group with a 2-0 victory, according to Mail Online.
Arsenal legend Adams can only think of one player in world football better than Saka right now, and he’s long been considered one of the greatest players of all time.

During his column for The Sun, Adams said, “If there’s a better player in world football at the moment, someone who both scores and makes goals, the only one I can think of is Lionel Messi.
“Bukayo is absolutely on fire and the reason Arsenal are top of the table.
“Erling Haaland might be scoring hundreds of goals for Manchester City and Marcus Rashford is also having a phenomenal season for United.
“But Bukayo is, hands down, the Footballer of the Year because he was England’s best player at the World Cup and he’s been the best player for the team eight points clear at the top of the Premier League.”
