admin Bukayo Saka has silenced his critics after putting in an incredible performance as England came from behind to beat Slovakia at Euro 2024.
Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has silenced his critics after putting in an excellent performance for England, as they booked their place in the Euro 2024 quarterfinals.
After England’s goalless draw with Slovenia last weekend, Saka was subjected to heavy criticism, as well as other members of Gareth Southgate’s squad, including the manager himself.
Arsenal legend Ian Wright even suggested moving him to left-back to accommodate Cole Palmer and fill the void left by Kieran Trippier, who himself is in poor form.
