'The talent that he has' - Gareth Southgate praises Arsenal starlet's abilities

Gareth Southgate has spoken about Bukayo Saka, saying he deosn't need ‘closure’ after his torment at the EURO 2020. On Sunday, the Arsenal youngster won Man of the Match for the Three Lions as he scored one and set up a couple more on his birthday, showing a strong performance.
“It was a lovely moment for him to score,” 
Said England boss Southgate.

“He got a fabulous reception before and during the game. You can see how popular he is with the team.

“From my perspective he doesn’t need closure [over the penalty at the Euros].

“The talent that he has, he is a hugely exciting player. No need from our side for closure.”

The 20-year-old also built Jesse Lingard’s opener in the first half, before assisting another Lingard goal in the 78th minute.

The fans were very supportive of Saka during the match, after what happened during the Euros. They even sang him a birthday song while he was giving his post-match interview.   Source - dailycannon Join us on Telegram!/ Follow us on Twitter!
