Overview
- Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink said Bukayo Saka is "very, very, close" to Harry Kane and Declan Rice in the Ballon d'Or discussion during a talkSPORT interview.
- Harry Kane has 45 goals in all competitions for Bayern Munich this season and is priced just behind Kylian Mbappé with most bookmakers.
- Declan Rice has been described by Hasselbaink as close to perfect this season, contributing four goals and 11 assists while driving Arsenal’s title push.
- Bukayo Saka has eight goals and seven assists in 36 appearances this term, remaining pivotal for Arsenal despite lower raw numbers than last season.
- TalkSPORT reports Saka has signed a new Arsenal deal worth north of £300,000 per week, as the award will not be decided until October, leaving time for all three to strengthen their cases.
