Why getting the most from Bukayo Saka at World Cup may affect Gareth Southgate's England future

Bukayo Saka has become one of England's key men under Gareth Southgate. Handed his debut for the Three Lions in October 2020, Saka now has 18 England caps under his belt and is an integral member of the squad.

A huge fan of the Arsenal star's versatility, Southgate selected Saka for four of England's seven games at last summer's European Championships, and he'll be hoping to play an even greater role at the World Cup in Qatar this winter.

The 21-year-old is almost guaranteed to make the 26-man squad for the tournament, and he has kept the likes of Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford out of the latest squad for this month's Nations League fixtures.
