Jack Grealish makes ‘lovely’ Bukayo Saka claim amid Arsenal question and Man City transfer link

Manchester City and England winger Jack Grealish has admitted his "love" for Arsenal star Bukayo Saka during their time together at the World Cup. The Hale Ender has played a starring role for the Three Lions in Qatar with a brace in the opening 6-2 win over Iran.

Saka's impressive form for the Gunners in the first half of the season earned him a place in Gareth Southgate's starting XI for their opening two group games of the World Cup. After putting in another eye-catching performance last week against Iran, Saka did struggle against USA on Friday as the nation put in a lacklustre performance.

It's not just his performance on the field that is being appreciated with Grealish confessing his admiration for the 21-year-old for his personality behind-the-scenes. The former Aston Villa man was asked by talkSPORT who he'd like to be stuck with on a desert island and he opted for the Hale Ender.
