Bukayo Saka Becomes Arsenal Top England Goalscorer, Breaking 90-Year Record

Bukayo Saka breaks a 90-year record to become Arsenal top England goalscorer, surpassing club legends in historic fashion.

Bukayo Saka has become Arsenal top England goalscorer after breaking a 90-year record, scoring his 13th goal for the Three Lions in a stunning display against Wales. The 24-year-old winger, who continues to shine for both club and country, surpassed Arsenal legends Cliff Bastin and Ian Wright to set a new all-time milestone for Gunners players representing England.

The 24-year-old winger netted his 13th international goal in England’s 3–0 victory over Wales at Wembley, overtaking Cliff Bastin’s 12-goal benchmark that stood for nearly 90 years.

Saka’s record-breaking strike came in vintage fashion — cutting inside from the right and curling a precise left-footed effort past Welsh goalkeeper Karl Darlow. The goal not only secured the win but cemented Saka’s place in Arsenal and England folklore.
