Bukayo Saka Worth Over 10 Times More Than Whole Bolton Squad As Wanderers Face Gunners In EFL Cup
Bukayo Saka is worth over 10 times more than the entire Bolton squad, as the League One side prepare to face Arsenal in the EFL Cup.
Mikel Arteta’s side endured a difficult time in their most recent fixture, conceding in the 98th minute to draw with Manchester City at the Etihad.
The Gunners went behind in the opening 10 minutes but managed to completely turn things around and go 2-1 up in the first half – but a Leandro Trossard red card just before the break left Arsenal with a difficult task.
However, Arteta’s men have made a strong start to yet another Premier League campaign, picking up 11 points from the opening five games.
On the other hand, their opponents in the EFL Cup have made a far from impressive start in League One with Bolton accumulating six points in seven league matches.
The Wanderers earned a clash at the Emirates after beating Shrewsbury and also beat Mansfield on penalties in their opening EFL Cup clash.
Making this run continue looks unlikely, as Arsenal’s star winger, Bukayo Saka, is worth over 10 times more than the entire Bolton squad.
