The consistency that England forward Bukayo Saka has displayed over the last several years has garnered plaudits from former Arsenal great Paul Merson.
With seven assists and two goals in seven Premier League games this season, Saka has been in superb form to start the season.
In 236 games for Arsenal, the 23-year-old has become a genuine superstar, contributing to 60 goals and 61 assists.
Based on what Merson mentioned, this player is in a league of his own.
In an article he published on Sky Sports, he explained that players like Bukayo Saka face a back-four defense every week and manage to produce.
He's been in Palmer's shoes for a while and is still coming up with answers.
To maintain your position at the top, you must do that. You have to stay one step ahead of smart teams, and he has accomplished that.
It would be the same as if Scotland had Andy Robertson and Kieran Tierney, the two top left backs in the league last season.
For Saka, consistency is key. His music is decades ahead of its time. It's not like people are attempting to figure him out; he's been at the top for some time. He always manages to find a way to fix things.
They play a certain way that gives Saka more time with the ball. That is Mikel Arteta's top management: he doesn't do well with five defenders pressing him; he excels in open space.
