Rio Ferdinand claims that Bukayo Saka is NOT 'world-class' despite Arsenal star breaking historic milestone in West Ham win... but admits the winger has been 'unreal' for the Gunners

Rio Ferdinand has insisted that Arsenal star Bukayo Saka is not a 'world-class' talent, despite his scintillating performances for the north London side.

Saka, 22, starred in Arsenal's recent 6-0 victory over West Ham on Sunday afternoon, where he picked up a brace after finding the back of the net either side of the break.

In doing so, Saka became the youngest player in more than 40 years to reach 50 goals for Arsenal and also took his total goal contributions to 100 exactly.

However, despite the 22-year-old's impressive performances, former Manchester United centre-back Ferdinand is not convinced the player is 'world-class'.
