Bukayo Saka‘s streak of 82 consecutive appearances has matched that of legendary Arsenal player Paul Merson.
- Saka has participated in 82 straight contests.
- Similar to Merson’s number.
- Merson performed this between 1995 and 1997.
Saka has now participated in 82 consecutive matches for the club after being selected to start for the Gunners against Crystal Palace on Monday night.
WHAT HAPPENED?
He will surpass the club legend, who twice won the First Division with the north London club, if he also starts this weekend’s match against Fulham. Gael Clichy, who made 78 consecutive appearances, is the third-placed athlete.
The bigger picture is that Saka has started every game for Arsenal since their 3-1 victory over West Bromwich Albion on May 9, 2021, when he played as a left defender and contributed an assist. Saka sat on the bench for Newcastle in the previous game on May 5.
