Bukayo Saka has shared how impressed he has been by one England star in Euro 2024 training who could be a great signing for Arsenal.
The Three Lions will today look to book their ticket to the quarter-final stages of the European Championship where England take on Slovakia, with Saka and Declan Rice both expected to once again start for Gareth Soutgate’s side.
Whilst the mood around England from the media and fans is as low as it has been for some time, the camp itself are doing all they can to keep spirits high, with Saka recently sharing how he finds it ‘nice’ playing alongside Manchester City defender Kyle Walker.
And the Arsenal superstar has now named which England player has impressed him the most in training.
Arsenal-linked Eberechi Eze praised by Saka for England impact
Speaking to TalkSport, Saka revealed that Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze has impressed him the most in training, with the 26-year-old also rumoured to be a target for Arsenal this summer.
One of the most entertaining players in the Premier League, Eze was once on Arsenal’s books as an academy player at the very start of his footballing career, with the playmaker now a full England international and a genuine X-factor player for Southgate in this squad.

And for Saka, the Arsenal superstar has now shared how much Eze has blown him away in training, with the Palace forward likely to win himself a big transfer this summer after an impressive year at Selhurst Park.
Saka said when asked which player has surprised him the most in training this Euros with England: “In training, I would say probably Eberechi Eze. He has been class in training. He has impressed me the most, I would say.”
Eze could be a dream summer addition for Arsenal this summer
One of the main things Arsenal were lacking this season in their failed attempt for the Premier League title was a player who could create a moment out of nothing, with the Gunners simply lacking that raw wildcard option who can conjure up magic.
Yet Eze has shown at Palace that he is very much that sort of player, with the former Queens Park Rangers star one of the most unpredictable creative forces in the Premier League who can do something in the blink of an eye.
And for Arsenal, the 26-year-old England international could be a dream summer addition for Mikel Arteta, who knows that an attacker who can be unpredictable and create something from nothing could be what helps the Gunners make up those extra points to win the Premier League title.
