Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has seen his new favourite hobby of testing his England teammates on their spelling go to the next level in the latest Three Lions camp. At the Qatar World Cup, Saka proved to many he was quite the spelling connoisseur with several videos of the winger getting Jack Grealish, Marcus Rashford and Declan Rice to spell words going viral.
Now back in England camp, James Maddison and Eric Dier took part in a version of popular Channel 4 show Countdown. Saka, because of his spelling expertise, took on the usual role of Susie Dent who checks to see if the words spelt by the contestants are actual words in the Oxford English dictionary.
In the first round of the show, Maddison and Dier proved why they are professional footballers and not lexicon experts. From the letters 'T, H, I, A, M, I, N, E, D' the words 'meat' and 'heat' were made by Maddison and Dier, respectively.
