Sky Sports Journalist Explains Why Nigeria Target Saka Could Make England Euro Squad
Published: June 11, 2020Sky Sports journalist Lewis Jones has insinuated with his latest article that NFF target Bukayo Saka will be perhaps for England's 2020 European Championship aspirations, allnigeriasoccer reports.
Saka, 18 has had quite a banner season with Arsenal, playing 29 matches for the Gunners first team this season, with 18 coming in the Premier League.
With nine assists and three goals to show for his troubles, it is believed the in-demand starlet will add undisputable quality to any national team he finally pitches his tent with.
"If he's a regular playing at a 'big six' club like Arsenal, competing in pressurised occasions domestically and in Europe, then it's going to be almost impossible for Gareth Southgate not to include him as one of his left back options", Jones wrote on the youngster who is also eligible to represent Nigeria.
"Ask yourself this: on what we have seen from Saka what are the chances of the youngster being first-choice on the Arsenal left this time next season? I would say it's far greater than 25 per cent.
"He is already, arguably, England's second-best left back and that is not even factoring in his scope for improvement."
It is understood the NFF are also on Saka's case, and have explored ways of convincing him to pledge to the Nigerian cause.
