"We are going to defend the truth" - Kevin Campbell refutes Steve Nicol's claims that Arsenal star can't ride tough challenges
Kevin Campbell has defended Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka following Steven Nicol's accusations that he is not tough enough.While speaking to ESPN after Arsenal's game against Aston Villa, the former Liverpool defender slammed Saka for 'putting himself in situations where he’s getting caught.'
However, Campbell came to the England international's defence, praising the 20-year-old for his professionalism. Speaking to the Highbury Squad, the former Arsenal striker said:
"The most important thing is to really
analyse what he said because I think that's
the professional way. He made some
comments about Saka that just wasn't true.
At the end of the day, we are going to defend
our player. But we are going to defend the
truth."
He continued:
"Saka has been ever-present. He is hardly
ever injured. He's just the nicest kid you
could wish to have. There is nothing out
there in the media that he is doing bad stuff
or things like that."
