Former Rangers star Ally McCoist said he does not consider Bukayo Saka ‘world-class’ yet.

The England international has been one of the first names on the teamsheet. He has played a key role in the Gunners’ ascent in recent seasons.

Saka netted 20 goals and provided 14 assists for the Gunners in all competitions last season.

The winger has so far this season scored three goals and supplied seven assists in 10 matches so far.

McCoist, analysing Saka’s performances for Arsenal alongside former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jamie O’Hara on talkSPORT, called Saka a potentially world-class player.

“I think [Mohamed] Salah is world-class; I think Saka is international-class and had potential to head to world-class,” the 62-year-old said.

“There aren’t too many who are world-class level. You are talking about up to the level of Messi and Ronaldo and Beckenbauer and Cruyff; that’s world-class,” he said.
