Bukayo Saka gives Kylian Mbappe claim verdict ahead of England vs France World Cup clash

England star Bukayo Saka has said there is only one Kylian Mbappe in response to being asked whether he is England's own version of the French superstar. France and England both won their last-16 matches against Poland and Senegal, setting up a quarter final meeting between the two footballing powerhouses.

Mbappe netted a brace in France's 3-1 win over Poland with the Paris Saint-Germain forward also setting up Olivier Giroud who scored the opening goal overtaking Arsenal legend Thierry Henry as the all-time French top goal scorer with 52 goals.

England also put in a fine display dispatching of African champions Senegal scoring three goals without reply. Jordan Henderson, Harry Kane and Saka were all on the scoresheet with Jordan Pickford rarely troubled in the Three Lions goal.
