Arteta praised the winger’s consistency and professionalism, describing his record as “unbelievable and really impressive.”
Saka, meanwhile, reflected humbly:

“It’s a beautiful achievement and I’m really proud of it. I’m going to enjoy it, and it was nice to get the goal and the win.”

Thierry Henry’s Heartfelt Message

Arsenal’s all-time top scorer Thierry Henry celebrated the achievement with an emotional Instagram message to Saka. The Frenchman wrote:

“From the ACADEMY to the EMIRATES. From your DEBUT to 200 PL GAMES, with 55 GOALS and 45 ASSISTS!!! KEEP on MOVING BUKAYO!!!!! So PROUD of YOU.”

Henry’s tribute struck a chord with Arsenal fans, emphasizing the bond between past and present generations of Gunners. Later, Saka revealed that Henry had also messaged him privately before the match to offer encouragement:

“He is always pushing me and I think he wants me there with him. It’s nice to have that kind of encouragement.”

From Hale End to Hero

Saka’s journey from the Hale End academy to Arsenal superstardom is one of persistence and dedication. Since debuting at just 17, he has developed into one of Europe’s most consistent wingers. Notably, he captained Arsenal in his milestone appearance — a symbol of how far he’s come since his youth days.

Although Saka endured a setback earlier this season due to hamstring surgery, his return has been exceptional. His goal against West Ham not only showcased his sharpness but also reflected his growing maturity as a player who thrives under pressure.

With Thierry Henry’s mentorship and Mikel Arteta’s guidance, Saka continues to aim higher. Analysts believe he could surpass Henry’s assist record in the Premier League if his current form continues. More importantly, he remains focused on team success rather than individual accolades.

“I’m just going to keep pushing and try to get some team trophies, which is what we’ve been searching for,” Saka said.

Arsenal fans will hope that Saka’s latest milestone is only the beginning of a record-breaking career. With his talent, humility, and leadership, he looks destined to follow in Henry’s legendary footsteps.
