WHAT a fantastic few days it has been for Ealing-born football star, Bukayo Saka.
The 19-year-old who attended Edward Bentham CofE Primary School and Greenford High School, joined Arsenal's academy at the age of seven, before making his senior debut in November 2018 at the age of 17.
On Tuesday afternoon, June 1, Saka was included in England's Euro 2020 (postponed to this summer) 26-man squad.
England are set to play two friendlies in the lead up to the European Championships, due to start next Friday, June 11.
The first match was against Austria on Wednesday, June 2, and the second will be against Romania on Sunday, June 6.
During Wednesday's match, Saka scored the only goal of the game in the 56th minute and handed England the win.
This was the teenager's first international goal with the senior side, and it capped off a brilliant couple of days for him.
Hopefully plenty more to come during the Euros!
