Former Liverpool player Graeme Souness has criticized Arsenal's Bukayo Saka, branding him a "cheat" who frequently "dives all over the place." The Liverpool legend expressed his displeasure during an appearance on Piers Morgan's Football Uncensored program, following Arsenal's victory over Nottingham Forest on Sunday. Souness pointed to a specific incident involving Neco Williams, who was shown a yellow card for a challenge with minimal contact.
Saka is a frequent presence on the Premier League's most-fouled player rankings, but Souness believes he exaggerates contact and takes advantage of referees. Souness stated, "Your player Saka engages in diving throughout matches. I prefer not to discuss him. The moment he loses possession, he falls to the ground. He simulates a foul.
Anyone who simulates a foul in my book would be a cheat." Souness further claimed that Saka's teammates often join in, raising their hands and shouting "foul," even when no clear foul has occurred. The former Newcastle manager acknowledged that simulation is a problem in football but maintained that the Arsenal players' actions constitute cheating.
