Sports News] According to recent reports from English media, Netflix, a
renowned streaming platform, has been seeking a Premier League forward to
feature in a documentary. The documentary aims to explore the art of
goal-scoring and delve into the pivotal moments of players both on and off the
field. Initially, their top choice was Erling Haaland, the prominent striker of
Manchester City in the Premier League. However, to everyone’s surprise, Haaland
declined Netflix’s request to be part of the filming. Subsequently, Netflix
expressed interest in players like Ollie Watkins, Mohamed Salah, and Bukayo
Saka, although it remains uncertain whether they are receptive to the idea. If
the filming proceeds, it is speculated that it may commence in August, at the
beginning of the upcoming season, with a release expected in the following
autumn. The editor speculates that Saka, the leading striker of Arsenal, might
be the most likely candidate Netflix is targeting, given Arsenal’s impressive
performance this season. Saka, aged 22, has made 36 appearances for Arsenal in
various competitions, starting in 35 of them, and has contributed 16 goals and
15 assists thus far.
