Saka celebrates 200 Arsenal appearances

Saka heart

Bukayo Saka made his 200th Arsenal appearance in our dramatic 4-3 win over Luton Town. 

Bukayo's debut came just over five years previously against Vorskla Poltava on November 29, 2018, and he has gone on to become a key member of our side, scoring 46 goals and adding 48 assists in his first 200 games.

149 of those games came in the Premier League, while 25 more were in the Europa League, plus five in the Champions League. He also made 10 FA Cup appearances, nine in the League Cup, and two in the Community Shield.

An impressive 173 of Bukayo's first 200 Arsenal appearances were starts, with the other 27 coming from the bench. 

Bukayo was 22 years and 91 days old when he played his 200th Arsenal match, making him the second-youngest English player to ever reach the 200-game milestone for us after Cliff Bastin (22y 16d), and youngest overall since Spaniard Cesc Fabregas reached a double century in 2008 (21y 118d).
