Arsenal ace Saka: Please don't liken me to Mbappe

England winger Bukayo Saka has played down comparisons with France superstar Kylian Mbappe.

Saka, who was one of the stars for England in the round of 16 against Senegal, will now take on France in the last eight.

While the youngster is delighted to be shining for his country on the biggest stage in world football, he knows that he is not yet at Mbappe's level.

Asked if he is England's version of the French attacker, he told reporters: “Thanks, but no. I think there's only one Mbappe - and only one me.

“I just want to help my team. There's a lot of young players doing well, including in our team.

“The priority is to win the tournament, not player of the tournament, or young player of the tournament."
