Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino has revealed he would choose Bukayo Saka over Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior right now.

Speaking ahead of Arsenal’s Champions League clash with PSG, Cascarino praised Saka for his rapid development, work rate, and impact on games, saying those are the qualities he finds lacking in Kylian Mbappe.

“Saka has grown massively as a player,” Cascarino said. “His hunger and effort on the pitch are outstanding. That’s exactly what I feel Mbappe doesn’t show enough of.”

He also suggested that Vinicius has not been at his best lately, possibly due to the pressure brought on by Kylian Mbappe’s arrival at Madrid. Cascarino believes this shift has also affected Rodrygo, another young Madrid talent.

“Saka works tirelessly, he troubles defenders constantly, and was a key reason Arsenal advanced,” he added. “Considering he’s just returned from a serious injury, it’s even more impressive. If I had to choose between Vinicius and Saka right now, I’d go with Saka.”
