Overview
- Scholes, speaking on The Overlap on Thursday, repeated that he would not class this Arsenal side as a great team even if they win the Premier League.
- He said Bukayo Saka is the “biggest difference” for Arsenal and could decide the final stretch, noting the winger is fully fit after injury and on 11 goals with eight assists this season.
- Arsenal lead the league by five points with Manchester City holding a game in hand, have West Ham, Burnley and Crystal Palace still to play, and face Paris Saint‑Germain in the Champions League final on May 30 in Budapest.
- He argued Arsenal have not beaten Manchester City or Liverpool this season and called their controlled build-up with goalkeeper David Raya and the centre-backs “boring.”
- Ian Wright laughed at the claim on-air and defended Arsenal’s form, while Roy Keane acknowledged Saka’s importance and suggested the team could earn broader greatness in the years ahead.
