Saka’s England future under threat

England international Saka




Bukayo Saka has been warned that his England starting spot is under threat, with Cole Palmer tipped to become a key player for the Three Lions.

Saka has once again been one of the driving forces behind Arsenals success this season, scoring 18 goals and notching 13 assists in all competitions. He starred in Tuesdays draw with Bayern Munich, having also scored in the win over Brighton on Saturday.

But competition for a place in Gareth Southgates England team for Euro 2024 is set to be fierce. Palmer is one of those pushing hard to be given a chance to star in Germany this summer.

The 21-year-old has been a revelation for Chelsea since arriving at Stamford Bridge from Manchester City last summer. He has scored 19 goals for the Blues, regularly winning games almost single-handedly.

Those performances have fired him into contention for the England senior team, receiving his first call-up in November. And former Arsenal star Alan Smith believes that Saka needs to be looking over his shoulder.

Cole Palmer has to get into that England squad and if hes going to play then it needs to be on that right hand side “ thats where hes done all his good work for Chelsea where he comes in onto his left foot, Smith toldinstantcasino.com. (The Nation)
