Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish has spoken of his admiration for Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka to TalkSPORT.

Grealish and Saka appear to have got on very well while away on international duty, with the Arsenal youngster often featuring in the playmaker’s social media post.

Grealish and Saka have been filmed enjoying a joke together on multiple occasions.

And the Villa creator says that he gets on really well with the Arsenal teenager, who has become one of the jokers in the England camp.

“He’s so funny, he’s so, so funny. He makes me laugh. Me and Chilly, we just sit there laughing with him every day,” Grealish said.

“He’s so funny. He’s a lovely lad and he’s obviously a great player.

“I’ve only known him this year, but he’s such a lovely lad and so down to earth.”

Important roles for England?

Arsenal fans will love hearing those words about their prized prospect, who is quickly becoming one of the most popular players at the Emirates Stadium.

Saka is the only Arsenal player in the England squad, although he may have a new club teammate in Ben White, if the Gunners can pull off a transfer.

Saka and Grealish are both yet to feature for England in the European Championships, but both could have roles to play.

Grealish is widely expected to feature at some point for the Three Lions tonight when they take on Scotland, while Saka scored in the build-up games for the tournament, as he proved to Gareth Southgate that he could be a useful attacking outlet.
