Bukayo Saka gave a nod to his Arsenal allegiances when asked who his favourite France player is ahead of England’s World Cup clash with Les Bleus this weekend.
The Three Lions will face the defending champions in the quarter finals at Al Bayt Stadium at 7pm on Saturday after beating Senegal 3-0 in the previous round. Gareth Southgate’s side will face a serious test against the tournament’s top goalscorer, Kylian Mbappe.
But there will be no surprises this weekend, as many of England’s players are familiar with their opponents from club football. Saka spoke to reporters before the match and was asked to name his favourite player from the France squad, besides Mbappe.
