Bukayo Saka offered Arsenal the qualification for the knockout stages of the Europa League last week. The Nigerian-born player has taken on a new and big dimension this season. A player who must be in a small corner of the head of Southgate for Euro 2020.

In just a few months, he went from a prospect from the training center to a major Arsenal player. Despite the fairly complicated season of his club, the nugget  Bukayo Saka is  doing well. He manages to draw attention to his qualities while trying to straighten his team.

Left-handed and winger by training, Saka moved into the 11 when Emery then Ljunberg and finally Arteta made him play left side. He changes positions to help out following injuries  to Arsenal  side  . Before that, he showed promise as a winger (his favorite position) especially in the Europa League. But the wonder kid will manage to seduce more than one as a left-back. Both Bukayo Saka takes his lane well and returns to make the decisive defensive gestures. Moreover, between the end of last season and the start of it, Arteta made him evolve willingly in this position, in his 343.

                           Soon a star of the English selection?

In November, his performances in the 343 gave him his very first selection for the national team. The young Englishman is then pleasantly surprised. The Three Lions boss is keeping him in the same position in his system similar to Arteta’s.

What is, moreover, peculiar with Bukayo Saka is his versatility. Although performing as a piston or side defender, Arsenal number 7 has regained his natural position: right winger. Since then, he still shows us the best of himself on the ball between dribbling and percussion. It becomes easier for him to get in the middle with his left foot and try to score. This is what has largely contributed to improving his stats: 5 goals and 2 assists in the league.

Between now and the Euro, there is very little time left for the England coach. About 3 months to choose a few young people from a golden generation of which Saka is part. Whether as a full-back or a winger, the 19-year-old faces stiff competition. Nevertheless, England have few left-handed attackers. This is perhaps another advantage for Anglo-Nigerian
