Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to react after seeing that Aston Villa playmaker Jack Grealish had commented on Bukayo Saka’s Instagram post.

The Villans skipper wrote ‘what a player’ on the 19-year-old’s latest Instagram upload, which was posted shortly after England’s 2-0 defeat to Belgium.

Both Saka and Grealish lined up down the left for Gareth Southgate against Roberto Martinez’s side, and had good games from an individual aspect despite the result.

WhoScored shows that, despite only coming on in the 37th minute, Saka completed three key passes – no player on the pitch recorded more.

The teenager also completed one tackle, two interceptions and one clearance.

In Grealish’s case, he too was superb. The Villa No.10 completed four successful dribbles and was fouled on seven occasions. No player on the pitch dribbled more, nor was fouled more than the 25-year-old.

He also had three shots and made two key passes.

As one fan below alludes to, Saka and Grealish could hold down the left flank for England for plenty of years.

Both have time on their side, and both are also already playing at such a high level – it’ll be hard for Southgate to not select the pair to start most games.

Let’s see how the Arsenal fans on Twitter reacted to Grealish’s comment…
