Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has said on England’s YouTube channel that Aston Villa attacking midfielder Jack Grealish likes to nutmeg a lot in training.
Saka, who can play as a winger and as a left-back, is part of the England squad for the Euro 2020 finals, and so is Villa ace Grealish.
The 19-year-old has said that Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho is the best at rondos.
The Arsenal teenager had added that Grealish, who can also operate as a winger, likes to nutmeg a lot in training.
Saka said on England’s YouTube channel: “Maybe Jadon (best at rondos). He has got some nice touches. I will say maybe Jadon.
“Jack likes to nutmeg a lot. Sometimes he will try and it doesn’t work, something he will try and it will go though. I will probably say Jadon is the best in the boxes.”
Encouraging
Grealish is a very creative player who showed against the Czech Republic what he is capable of.
The 25-year-old scores goals, creates chances, and is a constant problem for opposition defences.
It is encouraging to hear from Saka that Grealish likes to nutmeg a lot in training.
It shows that the Villa attacking midfielder enjoys his football.
For creative players such as Grealish, enjoying their football and feeling free to express themselves as footballers is a huge factor in their performances.
Grealish scored six goals and gave 10 assists in 26 Premier League matches for Villa last season.
England head coach Gareth Southgate should seriously consider including Grealish in the starting lineup against Germany in the Round of 16.
