Arsenal's forwards, Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz, shared their earnest desire to meet the renowned Al-Nassr superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Prior to their pre-season tour in the United States, the duo, who are looking forward to building on Arsenal's impressive second-place finish in the previous Premier League season, engaged in a light-hearted chat.

Havertz, the first signing of Mikel Arteta this summer, faced some criticism after a lacklustre performance against FC Nurnberg and in the MLS Skills Challenge, as reported by talkSPORT.

Saka, on the other hand, played a vital role in setting up Arsenal's opening goal, scored by Gabriel Jesus, as both he and Havertz began their US tour on a high note.

During a playful Question and Answer session, Saka asked Havertz which sports personality, from the past or present, he would most like to meet.

Without hesitation, Havertz mentioned Cristiano, and Saka himself admitted his sincere desire to have the opportunity to meet and converse with CR7.

Ronaldo belittles MLS

Sports Brief also reported that Cristiano Ronaldo has said that the Saudi Pro League surpasses the MLS in quality and stated unequivocally that he harbours no intentions of playing in the United States.

In the wake of Lionel Messi's grand introduction as Major League Soccer's star attraction, Ronaldo took the opportunity to publicly undermine the league's calibre and affirm his dedication to elevating the Saudi Pro League into a premier global competition.
