Gabby Agbonlahor has explained why he would rather Bukayo Saka than David Beckham in an all-time England XI. The Arsenal star has spearheaded the Three Lions' meteoric rise to success in recent years, playing a significant role in Gareth Southgate's side at both the 2020 European Championship and the 2022 World Cup.
At just 21-years-old, Saka has already notched 26 appearances for England while directly contributing towards 15 goals – five of which have come in major tournaments against the likes of Denmark, Senegal and France. The Gunners winger has already established himself as a starter in the England line-up, and it looks like the best is yet to come.
However, Agbonlahor believes that Saka has already done enough to earn his place in a fantasy XI ahead of Beckham. Speaking on talkSPORT, the former Aston Villa striker insisted that the Hale End graduate's performances at the Euros and World Cup justify his controversial claim.
