Bukayo Saka’s Performance

Saka enjoyed an electric start to the 2024/25 season, creating 10 assists in his first 13 Premier League matches, before being sidelined by a hamstring injury in December 2024. He returned to action and scored against Fulham shortly after his comeback, and also netted in a victory over Real Madrid in the Champions League.
