Eddie Nketiah backs Arsenal teammate Bukayo Saka with World Cup warning to Kylian Mbappe

Eddie Nketiah has backed his Arsenal teammate Bukayo Saka to help England overcome Kylian Mbappe's France in the World Cup quarter-final on Saturday.

Saka has been a crucial part of Gareth Southgate's side, grabbing three goals in three matches including one in the round of 16 victory over Senegal. Watching on throughout the whole tournament has been Saka's fellow academy graduate and former England under-21 teammate Nketiah.

The 23-year-old is currently in Dubai with the Mikel Arteta's squad who continued their preparations for the return of Premier League football on Boxing Day with a 3-0 win over Lyon in which Nketiah scored. Speaking after the game though he revealed he's been keeping tabs on his fellow Hale Ender, and backed Saka to carry on his success.
