Saka scored one goal and provided a crucial assist to help his country reach its second straight Euro final, and he was among the best Three Lions players at Euro 2024. While England failed to overcome the Spanish challenge in the finals, he still got enough time to achieve great success with his club and country.
Eric Cantona hails Arsenal star as ‘great’ talent
In an interview with The Times, Eric Cantona spoke about the next generation of players for England and Arsenal. He mentioned both Saka and Jude Bellingham as ‘great’ players.
The Premier League legend also called the players to keep working hard as they have a “very long” career ahead.
“Bellingham and Saka are great players,” said Cantona.
The duo can without doubt achieve great heights for both their clubs and the country.
Saka is on course to become a Superstar
Saka, who is only 22 years old, has a long career ahead of him and it is safe to say that the Englishman can become a superstar. Although his career is still in the early stages, it will be exciting to see how high he can rise and achieve in football.

He scored 16 goals while providing 9 assists for Arsenal last season. He made 35 appearances in the Premier League during the 2023/24 season.
Players like Arsene Wenger are already giving “world-class” title to Saka. Surely the way he is going it won’t be long when everyone agrees with this statement.
Arsenal Premier League challenge
Coming insanely close to securing the 2023/24 title, the Gunners are gearing up for another title this season. The side has been waiting to get their hands on the Silverware since 2003. Also last season, the team lost the championship by just two points.
The summer transfer season is open for quite a while now but Arsenal is yet to make some notable transfers. The side is firstly aiming to get rid of extra players who don’t come in the scheme of things.
While Saka will surely be an integral part of the plans, we could see some changes in the attack. The striker position is where we might get a new face as Arsenal is eager to land a new forward this summer.
On the defense, Riccardo Calafiori’s signing is still pending but is in the “advanced” stages. The personal terms are reportedly agreed upon however the negotiations between the clubs continue. He is expected to join the side this summer.
The pre season is also starting and we will see players in action in the United States. The Gunners will be arriving in the US to play their pre season matches. Arsenal will face Bournemouth on the 24th of July this week.
