Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish has hailed Arsenal youngster Bukayo Saka on Instagram.

Saka and Grealish have teamed up on England duty over the past two weeks, with their pair both impressing against Belgium.

While Grealish picked up the man of the match award, Saka also came off the bench and performed well at left-wing back.

The Arsenal prospect was a big threat down the left-hand side in the second period, with his driving runs earning him plenty of attention.

Saka posted how much of an honour it was to represent his country again on social media last night, and Grealish could not resist posting some praise in the comments section.

“What a player,” the £70 million-rated Villa star (The Sun) said.

Saka could now feature again for England tomorrow, when they take on Iceland.

The Three Lions have are without Ben Chilwell due to injury, which makes Saka look like Gareth Southgate’s most likely option to start down the left-hand side.
