In Arsenal's 2-0 victory over West Ham United, Saka reached a milestone in the Premier League of 100 goals. In an interview with the Mirror, he said that he was eager to win more in the future.
Saka scored a penalty against West Ham United, helping the team win 2-0. The goal brought his total of 100 goals and assists in the Premier League (55 goals and 45 assists), and also ushered in his 200th top league appearance.
However, Saka said the best is still behind: "It feels very good, but I know I always desire more. In this moment, I need to cherish it all, especially after missing some games due to injury in the past few months. I no longer take these things for granted, so I am very happy to reach this milestone and hope to keep going."
Arsenal legend Henry sent Saka a text on Saturday morning to inspire the 24-year-old to achieve new achievements. Saka expressed gratitude for the father-son relationship with Henry: "He sends me messages a lot, and I sends him messages. I'm grateful for the relationship because we all know who he is and what he has accomplished in football, especially for this club. I don't think anyone is more suitable for learning than him, and it's an honor to learn from him and listen to his advice every time."
When Arsenal scored a penalty in the second half of last week's game, people were expecting Yorke to take the opportunity to break the six-game goal drought. However, Saka stood up without hesitation and sent the ball into the goal guarded by Areola. He said: "When I got the ball, I wanted to take the penalty, which is what I thought at the time."
Although Arteta said in August that York is the club's best penalty kicker at present, Saka hinted that he would continue to play the role of penalty kicker. He said: "Let's keep the conversation inside, I won't say much!"
After celebrating his 300th game victory in coaching Arsenal, Arteta praised York's selfless performance. Saka firmly believes that the Swedes are proving their worth and the goal will come soon.
"I think he's performed very well, and he will undoubtedly score goals. His contribution to the team, and as teammates, we are very grateful for what he does, whether it's possession, running or threatening, he is one of the important reasons why we win these games. His goals will come, and we believe it. He is still positive and goes all out in every game."
