Ian Wright has claimed he would not swap one Arsenal player for Lionel Messi or prime Thierry Henry.
Prime Henry or Lionel Messi? that's one hell of a selection, but Arsenal legend Ian Wright has claimed he will reject both players in favour of Arsenal's star boy.
Yes, you read that right, Wright claims he will choose Bukayo Saka over both stars and get this, including prime Ronaldinho.
That is some high praise for the Arsenal star, who has had an incredible past two seasons at the Emirates.
He scored 20 goals and contributed 14 assists in all competitions for the Gunners last season, his best-ever return.

Wright took part in a fun video on GOAL, where he was asked if he would swap Saka for many football greats.
When asked if he would swap Saka for the legendary Frenchman Henry, he replied:
“No, no, no, no. I’m not swapping him because we’re talking about now. I’m not swapping Saka for anyone now.”
He also rejected the chance to swap the Arsenal winger for Lionel Messi, Eden Hazard, and Ronaldinho.
