Bukayo Saka has taken to Instagram after Arsenal’s 3-0 win over Newcastle to send a message to Aston Villa maestro Jack Grealish.
The £10,000-a-week Gunners wonderkid uploaded a photo of his celebration to Instagram, where he tagged Grealish and Chelsea’s Ben Chilwell.
Saka’s celebration saw him make an ‘A’ with his fingers.
As Leicester’s James Maddison revealed to the Premier League, that is a homage to a group chat named the ‘Avengers’ which contains other top-flight stars.
Along with Saka, Grealish, Chilwell and Maddison, Ross Barkley, John McGinn and Dele Alli are also part of the ‘Avengers’ as the Premier League’s official site details.
It seems as if Grealish and Saka’s relationship has blossomed since the pair were on England duty together.
After the duo made their Three Lions debuts against Wales, the Arsenal academy graduate said that the Villa captain impressed him more than anyone else within the England camp.
Goal quote him as saying: “He’s a top player. When I came here the first time he was the player who impressed me the most in training.”
It is great to see Saka mixing with some established, experienced Premier League stars, despite his lack of experience.
He really has taken to senior football like a duck to water.
By being part of a close circle containing England internationals, Saka will only find life on international duty more comfortable in our view, as he’ll be surrounded by his fellow ‘Avengers’.
