Nottingham Forest playmaker Jesse Lingard has raved about Arsenal and England international Bukayo Saka in The Daily Mail.

Lingard has described the 21-year-old Arsenal player as a “wonderful talent”.

Starring for the Three Lions

In our view, Arsenal attacker Bukayo Saka could be a star for England at the Qatar World Cup.

The 21-year-old is likely to start for the Three Lions, and given the form he is in at the moment, he could prove to be massive for the 1966 world champions.

Saka has developed a lot over the years and has established himself as a key figure in the Arsenal team, who are at the top of the Premier League table at the moment and have also progressed to the knockout rounds of the UEFA Europa League.
