Arsenal winger Saka: Bellingham deserves England chance

Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka says Borussia Dortmund teen Jude Bellingham deserves his place in the England squad.

At 17, ellingham could become the third-youngest player to represent the Three Lions if he makes an appearance in any of the upcoming fixtures.

"I don't think he needs a lot of advice," said Saka, 19.

"He is doing amazing things, he is playing for Borussia Dortmund and I saw him the other weekend come on against Bayern Munich so he is doing big things.

"He is doing really well so my advice is just to keep going and keep being fearless because as long as he keeps playing with no fear and showing his talent I think he can go far.

"I played with him last month when we went to the England Under-21s and I was very impressed with him.

"On Tuesday he had his first training session with the team and I was impressed with him again, he is so young and it is just good to see that a young player can come into this environment and play so fearlessly."
