Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has a lot of time for Arsenal youngster Bukayo Saka.

The winger participated in the Gunners 1-0 loss to City on Sunday in the Premier League.

Despite not troubling the City keeper on too many occasions, Guardiola was impressed with Arsenal's performance. He singled out Saka for special praise.

"The whole team suffered when Arsenal had the ball, and moved with [Granit] Xhaka and [Mohamed] Elneny with the central defenders," Guardiola after the game.

"And then after the counter-attack with all the players they have behind [our] midfield players, with Martin Odegaard and especially with Saka. A real tough opponent to play.

"They have incredible young, talented players, so I see a bright, bright future for Arsenal.

"And I think if they can [sign] a few players in a few positions they will make an incredible step forward. So they are a team that all the opponents suffer a lot when playing against them."
