Bukayo Saka named English player of the year

A new star emerged last year and is now established. The Arsenal player Bukayo Saka, who had a great season with his club and the national team last year.

Despite his youth, the 21-year-old Englishman scored a total of 16 goals last season, including 12 for club and four for England. Many will say that these were few goals, but he also provided assists that were very important in some games.

For all this, the English national football team has awarded him this prize, which, it should be noted, is given by the fans. In second and third place are Declan Rice (West Ham) and Harry Kane (Tottenham), respectively. 

However, Saka is also in the race to win the Kopa Trophy, the award for the best U21 football player. Difficult considering the candidates, as there are others such as Camavinga and Gavi who are favourites for the award.
