Arsenal star Bukayo Saka says team success is more important to him than personal awards. At 23, Saka is clear that winning trophies with Arsenal is his main goal.
TEAM FIRST MENTALITY
In an interview with Sky Sports, Saka shared his views. “Winning the Ballon d’Or is a dream, but my focus is on winning titles with Arsenal,” he said. “The main focus is on winning here; everything else will come after that.” Saka shows a mature approach, putting the team first.
As Arsenal aims for trophies this season, they face challenges. The Gunners are trying to improve in the Premier League race. However, they are doing well in the Champions League.
BALLON D’OR ASPIRATIONS
While team success is key, Saka still dreams of winning the Ballon d’Or. He finished 21st in the 2024 rankings after being 24th in 2023. Saka’s steady improvement makes the award possible in the future.
Recently, Saka’s value was clear when Arsenal struggled without him. He scored against Liverpool, showing how important he is. This season, Saka has four goals and seven assists.
FUTURE AT EMIRATES
Fans will be happy to see Saka committed to Arsenal. He has two years left on his contract, which is reportedly worth up to £300,000 a week. The club plans to discuss a new deal with him. Saka has said he wants to “win wearing this badge.”
The bond between Saka and the fans is strong. He has said, “The fans know how much I love them…I think they love me back.” As Arsenal competes for titles, Saka’s team-first attitude is important. For now, personal awards like the Ballon d’Or are not his main focus.
