Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand, has named Bukayo Saka as England’s most important player amid the ongoing Euro 2024.
Ferdinand said this after Saka led England to beat Switzerland in the Euro 2024 quarter-final on Saturday.
Saka was voted Man of the Match as Gareth Southgate’s side eliminated Switzerland in the last-8 of Euro 2024.
The Arsenal star equalized after Breel Embolo had given the Swiss the lead in the second half.
He was also successful during the penalty shoot-out, as Jordan Pickford kept out Manuel Akanji’s effort.
“I would go as far as to say that Bukayo Saka is the most important England player,” Ferdinand said on TNT Sports.
“I am looking at the team and in tournament football we are doing the right thing – we are moving in an upwards direction.”
