Arsenal U18 coach Jack Wilshere believes Bukayo Saka is nearing career best form after his brace for England in victory over Iran.

Wilshere wrote for The Sun: "His performance against Iran was exactly what I expected from him, creating and scoring goals in what was a superb team display.

"Bukayo has improved his finishing over the last couple of seasons — he now instinctively knows the right time to shoot.

"It's not necessarily immediately when he gets into the box when some others might rush the chance.

"He waits if he has to, shifts the ball across the area and picks out the right moment to deliver the strike on goal.

"He twisted three Iranians into a knot without going round any of them, which was the mark of a player at the top of his game.

"He wasn't the only one who impressed of course, Jude Bellingham showed a maturity way beyond his 19 years.

"The best I'd seen of him previously was when we were losing to Germany in the Nations League a couple of months ago.

"He grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck to help pull us back into the game — and this time he was even better."
