Bukayo Saka appears to be forming a special relationship with England team-mates Ben Chilwell and Jack Grealish, but there was an incident seen in training which confused the Arsenal winger.
Saka shined on his Euro 2020 debut this week, earning the UEFA Star of the Match award in their 1-0 win over the Czech Republic, and his form doesn’t appear to have been restricted to the big stage.
The youngster looked to be shining in training also as his side prepare for the knockout stages, and he even attracted a strong foul from England team-mate Kieran Trippier to earn a foul in a practice match, but it was his close-friend Ben Chilwell whose reaction caught Saka’s attention.
“That video kills me,” the 19 year-old told the Lions Den. “It was a foul (in training) and then Chilwell just booted the ball.
“At the time, I just booted the ball, so I didn’t see it. When I saw the video back then I couldn’t stop laughing. And I sent it to him, he was laughing as well.
“We have that banter. Me, Chilwell and Jack (Grealish). He didn’t take it too seriously, but I still don’t understand why he was that angry. We were beating them. Maybe that’s why.
“When I have asked him, he hasn’t given me a valid answer.”
Regardless of Chilwell’s reaction, Saka appears to be building a strong relationship with his England team-mates which can only help the morale around the dressing room, although none of the trio were selected to start in either of the first two matches of Euro 2020.
Could their jokes in training be working against their chances under Gareth Southgate?

Can someone help me by explaining what this article is about as I seem to having a dim day?
Declan, I have also failed 2 know the real agenda of these articles about saka
The “Little Chilli” is just afree guy and thinks of football nothing else!
maybe if Saka keeps finding new mates he can start to persuading them to join Arsenal……. seemingly our post Christmas record, and the awe of working with Arteta is just not doing much to convince any players young or old to join.
absolutely unnecessary article I must say. zero point to it.
At times its necessary to just ignore
Same here Declan. He is holess and cannot even write in the same tense in articles . He probably does not even know to what I refer!
Yes Jon, just seen our posts have disappeared. I thought this site was opinion based but it seems only if your opinion agrees with the “management”!
