England star man Saka bats away comparisons with France talisman Mbappe!
As England prepare to face France in the quarter-final of the World Cup 2022, there is a growing focus on how Gareth Southgate's side will try and stop Kylian Mbappe from running the show. .
The Arsenal winger has three goals in the competition already - just two shy of top scorer Mbappe - and has been playing with a swagger few defenders have been able to cope with. .
Yet comparisons with Mbappe were swatted away by Saka in the build up to England vs France. .
"There are so many young players in the tournament," Saka continued.
Even in our team, there's a young player who's doing unbelievably well in Jude Bellingham.
The priority is to win the tournament, not be player or young player of the tournament.".
Yet Saka was full of compliments about Mbappe, who he believes belongs to the elite band of players at the very top of world football. .
"For me he's one of the best players in the world," Saka commented.
