Arsenal's Bukayo Saka has admitted that Cristiano Ronaldo was his 'favourite player' growing up. The latter of the two has been in the headlines over the past week after Manchester United announced that the club and player had mutually agreed to terminate his contract at Old Trafford.
Saka became the youngest Englishman ever to score two or more goals at a World Cup finals as the Three Lions cruised to a 6-2 victory in their tournament opener against Iran on Monday. Ronaldo's Portugal are set to get underway this afternoon, but the veteran forward will be looking to make his mark on a major tournament once again.
The global superstar has inspired several of the world's top upcoming talents, including Saka, who has now admitted that Ronaldo was a 'role model' to him as a child.
