Chelsea legend Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has snubbed 25-goal Manchester City striker Erling Haaland as he picks his best player in the Premier League so far this season.
Hasselbaink believes that Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka is the best player of the season.
Saka has scored eight goals and made seven assists in 26 appearances in all competitions for Mikel Arteta’s side this season.
Meanwhile, in his very first season in the Premier League, Haaland has netted 25 goals already for Manchester City.
Hasselbaink told SafeBettingSites: “Everybody is going to say Erling Haaland because of his 25 goals and rightly so but I would throw Bukayo Saka in there.”
“He was absolutely magnificent against Man Utd and if you look at how mature his performance was against France in the World Cup too. He showed me that he is at the top level.
“I’ve been impressed with Luke Shaw recently but Saka made him look ordinary on Sunday.”
