Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has shared a playful post on his official Instagram account, revealing that he and Gunners legend Robert Pires are friends again.
Saka and Pires can be seen smiling in a photo together, showcasing their renewed friendship.

Check out Saka’s Instagram post below, showing that all is well between him and Pires despite their previous differences…
Saka has been in great form for Arsenal, notably captaining the team and scoring in their recent 2-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League at the Emirates Stadium.
Pires had previously commented, stating: “Bukayo still lacks a certain level of consistency and experience, especially in the big games. Perhaps this season, especially in the Champions League, he will show a more convincing face than last season when it counts.
“For example, in my opinion Jeremy Doku from Manchester City is a bit better because he is technically stronger, has better dribbling skills and is more imaginative.”
It’s clear why these comments may have caused some tension between Saka and Pires, as well as among Arsenal fans!
Nevertheless, Pires remains a revered figure at Arsenal, and he continues to support Saka as the young talent strives for success with the team.
