In Saturday’s Daily Mail’s ‘what’s hot, what’s not’, they named Bukayo Saka as one of the hottest things this week AND acknowledged he is playing out of position.

Saka has impressed since being moved to fullback due to a number of injury problems back there you never hear about because they aren’t happening at Tottenham.

Consequently,  despite being only 18, the winger has shone in his new position but gets little-to-no credit for it from pundits on TV who seem oblivious to both his natural role, youth, and ability.

So, even though it is only the Daily Mail, it’s nice to see Saka getting noticed.

Had he been at Spurs, United, Chelsea or Liverpool, we’d probably already be sick of hearing about him.
