Jack Wilshere has raved about Arsenal and England international star Bukayo Saka in The Sun.

Arsenal ace Saka is part of the England squad for the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar.

The 21-year-old has established himself as one of the best players for Arsenal and is also a key figure in the England set-up.

Former Arsenal and England international midfielder Wishere has spoken highly of Saka and has backed him to be a success for the Three Lions in Qatar.

Wilshere wrote about Saka: “I wonder if the England fans realise what a truly great player we have in Bukayo Saka. Yes, I know I’ll be accused of bias because Bukayo plays for Arsenal but, honestly, he has special gifts.

“What amazes me about him is he always makes the right decision, it’s incredible. It is so rare for a young player – he’s only just turned 21 – to instinctively know what is right in any given situation.

“I stress with my Arsenal Under-18 players to study him. If the situation calls for a five-yard pass he’ll do it but if he has to beat someone he’ll do that too.

“Bukayo always gets it right, which is a skill itself. His level of understanding is that he’ll know if he plays a certain pass, the free player will be there. He won’t try and force it.”

Huge potential

In our view, Bukayo Saka is one of the best young players around and will be a big figure for Arsenal and England for years to come.

The 21-year-old has been in good form for Arsenal this season, and it is very likely that England head coach Gareth Southgate will include him in the starting lineup, at least in the group stages.

Saka is quick, scores goals, creates chances, and is always willing to work hard.

The youngster has scored four goals and given six assists in 14 Premier League matches for Arsenal so far this season.

The 21-year-old Arsenal no. 7 has also scored one goal in six UEFA Europa League games for the North London club so far this campaign.
