Bukayo Saka says left-back role is not the solution
Arsenal legend Ian Wright suggested Bukayo Saka be moved to left-back to make room for Chelsea player of the season Cole Palmer.

That suggestion divided opinion, and the player himself has now commented on it.
“Putting me out of position at left-back is NOT the solution for England, but it’s in Gareth’s hands & we all have to trust what he selects on the day."
Saka has contributed just one assist in his three games so far, failing to register a single shot on target.
Perhaps it is time for Southgate to give Palmer a chance to show what he can do.
