Bukayo Saka has racked up his 200th Premier League appearance – becoming the youngest player since 2018 to reach the landmark.
The Arsenal winger was named in Mikel Arteta‘s line-up for Saturday afternoon’s London derby with West Ham at the Emirates.
And in doing so, he has entered the top ten of the youngest players to reach 200 Premier League outings.
Saka finds himself in seventh spot having amassed 200 top-flight games at the age of 24 years and 29 days.
He is the youngest player to hit the milestone since Raheem Sterling in October 2013, who was 23 years and 325 days old.
The Hale End graduate’s teammate Declan Rice is also on the list, with Saka’s entry seeing the England midfielder bumped down into tenth place.
Another Arsenal great in Cesc Fabregas also features, with the 2010 World Cup winner in third spot.
But it’s Wayne Rooney that sits top of the pile having been just 22 years and 236 days old when he featured for Manchester United against Blackburn in October 2008.
Saka will be looking to make it a memorable outing against the Hammers by becoming just the second Arsenal player to score in his 200th Premier League match.
Thierry Henry is the only person to manage the feat, having done so in February 2005.
And playing against West Ham could be a good omen for Saka, with Henry’s double coming in a London derby against Crystal Palace.
One more strike against the east London outfit would be his fifth strike in his 12th meeting with the club – equalling the most he has managed against a single opponent.
