Chilwell amazed by Arsenal attacker Saka: Also one of the best people in football

Arsenal star Bukayo Saka is one of the best wingers in the world at present according to a colleague.

His England teammate and Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell spoke about Saka over the international break.

As the 21-year-old scored a great goal against Ukraine in a 2-0 Euro 2024 qualifying win, Chelsea defender Chilwell admitted he was surprised when Saka had to fill in as a wing back on England duty during previou games.

“I can't believe he (Saka) played at left-back when he can do that," the Blues ace said following the game.

“Such a great talent. I think everyone can see what he gives on the pitch. He is one of the best people I have met in football as well.

"We see him on a daily basis around camp and he just brings happiness to everyone else. He is always smiling and a good guy to be around, and then he comes out on the pitch and delivers like that for us.

“An assist and a goal and it ultimately wins us the game. I am delighted for him."
