Arsenal winger Saka: Aston Villa captain Grealish impresses most in England training

Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka is happy to call Jack Grealish an England teammate after defeat on Sunday to Aston Villa.

Grealish was electric in Villa's 3-0 dismantling of Arsenal, and Saka praised the midfielder's performance in training this week ahead of games against Ireland, Belgium and Iceland.

"He's a top player," he said. "When I came here the first time he was the player who impressed me the most in training.

"Before we played against Villa at the weekend we analysed him and picked him out as one of their main threats and he showed it in the game.

"He was amazing from start to finish, so it's going to be good to play with him and not against him this week."
