Talented Bukayo Saka has positioned himself to potentially break an 86-year-old record as England prepares for two crucial UEFA Nations League matches this month. The Three Lions are set to face Greece at home in Wembley before heading to Helsinki to take on Finland, with hopes high for a successful outcome that could lead them back to League A.
Saka, who started both international matches in September against Ireland and Finland, played a key role in achieving two 2-0 victories under interim manager Lee Carsley. Despite not scoring in those matches, Saka has the chance to make history in the upcoming fixtures for England.
Former Arsenal stars Ian Wright and Tony Woodcock have tallied nine goals each during their time with the Gunners, with Theo Walcott and Danny Welbeck following closely with eight goals. Saka, on the other hand, continues to make waves, especially with his performance in major tournaments for England, where he has scored four goals, three of which came during the 2022 World Cup.
Saka showcased his exceptional form in a recent victory over Southampton where he provided two assists for Kai Havertz and Gabriel Martinelli, turning the game around after going 1-0 down. The young star then sealed the win with a goal of his own, solidifying his position as a top provider in Europe’s top-five leagues this season with seven assists in the Premier League, surpassing notable players like Lamine Yamal, Harry Kane, Alex Baena, and Joao Neves.
As Saka continues to shine on the pitch, all eyes will be on him as he potentially sets a new landmark in English football history.
