What Arsenal's Bukayo Saka said to David Beckham at England World Cup camp ahead of France clash

Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has been one of the standout performers for England at the World Cup. Saka took his goal tally to three as he rounded off the Three Lions' 3-0 win over Senegal in the last 16 on Sunday evening.

The 21-year-old scored twice on his World Cup debut against Iran as England kicked off their tournament in style with a 6-2 win. Gareth Southgate's side followed that up by drawing 0-0 to the USA, before beating fellow home nation Wales 3-0 in their final Group B fixture.

Rio Ferdinand has previously highlighted the relaxed and positive culture Southgate has implemented into the group which may be a reason behind the Three Lions' last two major tournament performances, reaching a semi-final and final at the 2018 World Cup and Euros in 2020. The England players had a special guest visit them in Qatar ahead of their quarter-final clash against France on Saturday, December 10, with a place in the semi-finals up for grabs.
