Bukayo Saka Reveals the Former Arsenal Teammate He Misses Most and Wishes Him Luck in His Career
Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has played alongside some incredible talents during his time at the club, but when asked about the one former teammate he misses the most, the England international didn’t hesitate to give an emotional answer.
Speaking in a recent interview, Saka revealed that he still holds a deep connection with his ex-Arsenal teammate Joe Wilock and wishes him nothing but success in his career. He spoke about how Wilock left a lasting impact on him both on and off the pitch
Saka came through Arsenal’s famed Hale End academy, making his senior debut in 2018. Over the years, he has played alongside numerous players who have since moved on to other clubs. But one name in particular stood out to him.
“I’ve played with so many amazing players at Arsenal, but if I had to pick one I really miss, it would be Wilock” Saka admitted. “We had such a great connection on and off the pitch, and I learned a lot from him.”
Sake also made mention of some of his former teammates like Alexandre Lacazette, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, or even Granit Xhaka—players who played key roles in Saka’s development and were known for their leadership in the squad.
Despite the separation, Saka made it clear that he still follows his former teammate’s career and is rooting for his success.
“I still keep in touch, and I always wish him the best. He’s a top player and an even better person, so wherever he is now, I know he’ll keep shining.”
Fans appreciated Saka’s heartfelt words, as it showed the strong bonds that remain between players even after they leave the club.
Though Arsenal continues to evolve with a new generation of stars, it’s always special to hear current players speak fondly of their former teammates. For Saka, this connection proves that football is more than just a game—it’s about friendships that last a lifetime.
