Arsenal youngster Bukayo Saka is still way off Thierry Henry's record despite having a phenomenal season. The Englishman is the only player in the Premier League this season to have both goals and assists in double-digits.
Saka has scored 12 league goals and has provided 10 assists in 28 matches this season. The Gunners still have 10 games left in their league campaign.
Henry scored 24 goals and provided 20 assists during the 2002-03 campaign. The Frenchman also scored 25 goals and provided 14 assists in the 2004-05 campaign.
Despite Saka's phenomenal form, he remains distant from Henry's incredible tally. However, there is no denying that he has been one of Arsenal's most important players this season.

Bukayo Saka recently spoke about his impressive stats (via Arsenal's website):
“I’m just happy to help my team. Each game I want to go into the games and try and affect them in the best way to help my team win, whether that’s scoring or assisting. I managed to do that today and help us win the game, so I’m happy again.”
