Euro 2024: Alan Shearer says Saka is England’s best England player

England legend Alan Shearer insists that the best player in the England team in Euro 2024 is Bukayo Saka.

The Arsenal man has been in fantastic form for some time and continues to shine for England at the Euros.

After missing out on winning the Premier League last season, Saka can end 2024 with a trophy on Sunday, and he has been tipped to shine against Spain.

England has some of the finest players in the competition, including Declan Rice, who has covered the most distance of any player in the tournament.

However, Shearer believes the standout performer on their current team is Saka, who has simply been fantastic.

He said, as quoted by the Daily Mail:

‘When looking at who’s been England’s standout player, you have to mention a few.

‘Saka has been fantastic, Kobbie Mainoo, too. Everything about him, he has that aura, nothing seems to faze him.”

Adding: ‘I have to say though, Bukayo Saka is my player of the tournament. He’s had a wonderful tournament, he’s a breath of fresh air and everyone loves him.

‘Let’s hope he has another magical moment on Sunday.’

Saka has been in unstoppable form for England at the Euros, and even when he had to play as a left-back, the attacker did well.

In the final, many fans would hope he is on his best form and proves too hot to handle for the Spanish team.
