Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Sam Greenwood showed their love on Instagram to Arsenal’s rising star, Bukayo Saka, after England progressed to the knockout stages of the World Cup.
For the third time in Qatar, Saka was on the scoresheet as England eased past Senegal 3-0 to book a quarter-final ticket against the current champions, France, on Saturday.
Some of the top talents in world football and of this tournament are going to be on stage for that heavyweight showdown and Saka can add his name to that.
The Hale-End star has been outstanding for both club and country this season, and if he cooks against France, then he will elevate his status even further.
After England’s win yesterday, Saka expressed his delight on IG about the win against Senegal.
In the comments section of his post, Jude Bellingham wrote ‘my boy’, whilst James Maddison and Aaron Ramsdale added ‘star boy’.
Leeds United star, and former Hale-End academy product, Sam Greenwood added ‘what a player’, whilst Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang wrote Lil (added with chilli emoji).”
SAKA PROVING HIS WORTH
Gareth Southgate made a big call before the game and that’s starting Saka instead of Manchester United forward, Marcus Rashford.
Yes, Saka had netted a brace against Iran for the opening game, but Rashford was also on three goals, so it could have been easier to keep him in the XI.
It was a brave move from the England boss and it was one that paid off, thanks to Saka’s performance.
