Jude Bellingham has told the Lions Den that Jack Grealish keeps ‘messing’ with Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka in training.
Saka is one of the youngest players in the England squad, and it seems that he has to take his fair bit of stick from his teammates.
Indeed, when asked about camp life, Bellingham said that the Arsenal teenager was often taking the brunt of the jokes from Grealish and Ben Chilwell.
“Bukayo is funny. They are always messing with Bukayo! Jack and Chilly are always messing with him,” the £100 million-rated midfielder laughed (EuroSport).
“They always seem to be playing with him, but he takes it really well, so I’d probably go with him.”
Friendship building
Grealish actually spoke in glowing terms about Saka as a player and a person to TalkSPORT.
He also mentioned in the interview just how funny he finds the Arsenal prospect, with the pair seemingly quickly becoming good friends.
Saka showed himself to be one of the jokers in the England camp as soon as the squad got together.
The Arsenal man was tasked with asking for passports from the players, even though the tournament was largely being staged in England.
Saka and Grealish both are yet to feature for the Three Lions at the tournament, but they could have roles to play tonight against Scotland.
