Arsenal fans seem genuinely delighted that Bukayo Saka will be handed his first England start tonight, according to the Daily Mirror.
The Arsenal prospect has been called into England’s senior side for the first time this week, and it seems that Gareth Southgate is prepared to throw him in at the deep end.
The Three Lions are set to take on Wales in a friendly later, and Arsenal fans are excited to watch their prospect in action on the international stage.
Saka has become very popular at the Emirates Stadium, as his performances since breaking into Arsenal’s first-team have been exceptional.
Mikel Arteta has shown great faith in the youngster, and Saka has certainly repaid his manager.
The teenager has never looked overawed in an Arsenal shirt and is now a key member of their first-team.
Saka’s first England appearance looks set to come in an experimental side this evening, with Southgate set to test out a number of players who aren’t regular starters.
