Despite Saka's fine form this season, the England international has recently received some questionable criticism from Rio Ferdinand who claimed Saka was not yet a world-class player.
"I don't think [Saka] has done it at the top level, winning trophies, I think Saka is more about, he needs the opportunity to perform at that platform, that level, consistently, and you can consider him then [as world-class]," Ferdinand told TNT Sport.
