- Sancho and Saka’s England record together.
Bukayo Saka is one of the best players to don the prestigious England shirt, given how brilliantly he has performed at international level in various tournaments.
In Euro 2020 and the 2022 World Cup in particular, the 24-year-old was one of his nation’s best players. Saka is coming off a difficult season for Arsenal but at the 2026 World Cup, Thomas Tuchel will be relying on him to step up to the plate.
During his time at Borussia Dortmund, a prodigious Jadon Sancho seemed like he could be to England what his countryman has been over years.
However, Saka has become an Arsenal legend to many and considering how well he has fared at the international level, Sancho paid him a huge compliment.
