Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka has suggested that he has just beaten Kyle Walker in a sprint race in England training.
What’s the story?
Walker posted a photo on Instagram yesterday, with the Arsenal youngster ahead of him as the pair went through a sprint drill.
Of course, the Manchester City full-back suggested that he was just giving Saka a head start in the contest.
But the Arsenal man responded in kind, saying that he was definitely the winner of the race.
He wrote: “You lost bro,” with some laughing emojis in the comments.
Did Saka win?
If Saka did indeed beat Walker in a sprint then it shows just how quick he is.
Walker is widely regarded as one of the very fastest players in the Premier League, with his pace a major asset.
Saka’s speed has also been vital to Arsenal this season, with the youngster one of the first names on the team sheet for Mikel Arteta’s side.
Saka’s importance to England is also growing, and he has already racked up 13 caps for his country to date.
Gareth Southgate already seems to trust the Hale End graduate implicitly, and he is expected to get some game in over the coming fortnight.
England face games against Albania and San Marino as they look to book their place at the 2022 World Cup.
