Has there been a bigger break-out star in the Premier League this season than Bukayo Saka?

The Arsenal youngster has lit up the Emirates with his fearless performances this season, and to think that he is still only 18 years old is truly startling.

The Gunners academy product provided yet another assist in the victory over Everton on Sunday afternoon, delivering an inch-perfect cross for Eddie Nketiah to steer home. It meant that Saka is now the north London side's top assists holder for this season, with nine to his name - the man in second? £72m star Nicolas Pepe with eight.

But whilst Saka continues to steal the show, there may be one man who might be wondering where he stands in all of this.

Kieran Tierney arrived from Celtic last summer in a £25m deal, and at 22, would have fancied being the Gunners' first-choice left-back for the next decade or so. After all, he had been part of an all-conquering Scottish side that had won multiple league titles, and built up major experience of playing in Europe - he made 45 appearances across both the Europa League and Champions League.

The man signed by Emery now faces a more uncertain immediate future. The Scotland international is closing in on a return to first-team action following the dislocated shoulder he suffered against West Ham back when Freddie Ljungberg was in interim charge.

Who is that?! Nobody has been able to name the teams all of these obscure managers were once in charge of...

Whilst even a month or so ago he would have felt that he could just walk straight back into the side, now there are far bigger doubts. Saka's impressive displays have captured the imagination of the Arsenal faithful. You only have to look at the rapturous applause he received when he came on for an injured Sead Kolasinac against Everton to show how much the Gunners fans have taken to him.

Arteta will now find it extremely difficult to leave Saka out of the team for the foreseeable future, and for all intents and purposes, Tierney may have to be satisfied by being a on-looker. The club's summer signing is already facing an uphill battle in his Arsenal career.

Meanwhile, Arsenal should be thanking this man instead of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for the win against Everton.
