The 19-year-old has earned four caps for the Three Lions, while Grealish, who can also play as a winger, has played five times for the former world champions.
Both Saka and Grealish could be part of the England squad for the European Championship in the summer of 2021, and Arsenal legend Wright has disclosed what the teenager told him about the Villa ace from their time in the Three Lions’ camp.
Wright said on Premier League Productions: “I spoke to Saka at Arsenal, and he said, ‘I was almost googly-eyed looking at Jack Grealish’.”
