That’s according to TNT Sports, which claims the Arsenal forward is now one of two players to have scored or assisted against every Premier League team he’s faced.
Bukayo Saka hasn’t reached the heights he managed last time out so far this season but he’s still providing in the final third for the Gunners.

The 22-year-old popped up with his fourth assist of the season against Burnley on Saturday as he set up Leandro Trossard. He arrived at the right time in the box to nod the ball back across goal for the Belgian.
The assist saw Saka join Harry Kane as the only player who’s managed a goal contribution against every side he’s faced.
Saka has done something only Kane has managed in the Premier League
According to TNT Sports, Kane has managed a goal contribution against all of the 32 sides he’s faced in the Premier League.
Saka has now registered a goal or an assist against all of the 24 teams he’s faced in the league.
Of course, Kane has since completed a switch to Bayern Munich so it will be interesting to see if Saka can close down his total of 32.

While there is little love for Kane at Arsenal due to his previous ties with Spurs, that’s not exactly bad company for Saka to be alongside.
The Hale End Academy product has proven to be clinical in the final third and it’s no real surprise to learn he’s managed a goal contribution against every side he’s faced in the Premier League.
Saka has already registered 14 goal involvements in 17 appearances this season, despite not finding his best form as of yet.
