Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has been synonymous with wearing socks that appear torn out.
Ever since the league started, that has been his signature look even as he has played a significant role in Arsenal’s campaign.
But why does he wear torn-out socks?
Players generally cut holes in their socks to reduce pressure on the calf muscles, which are often restricted by the form-fitting, snug nature of the garment.
For players who have bulging leg muscles, socks can prove particularly restrictive, causing difficulties with effective blood flow and circulation, as well as breathability.
Therefore, players will often move to cut up their socks to remove the problem and help improve their game.
Others who wear torn socks include Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham and Machester City Winger Jack Grealish.
