'There's only one Kylian Mbappe' – says playful Saka

With the Arsenal youngster having already scored 3 goals in the World Cup, Saka has been compared to France’s Kylian Mbappe who scored 4 at the 2018 World Cup. but Saka rejects all the comparisons, claiming that 'there's only one

'.

Saka who has been one of the first names for Southgate in this tournament, starting 3 out of their 4 games and becoming their top goal scorer with 3 goals, helped England move past Senegal in the last-16 and into the quarter-finals.

Saka was reminded of the comparisons between him and Mbappe but he replied by saying: "

Thank you for the compliment, but there's only one Kylian Mbappe.

"At the same time, there's only one of me. I just want to be myself and help my team in the best way I can.

"There are many young players in this tournament, I can name so many.

"Even in our team, alongside me there's another young player doing unbelievably well in

. I'm just happy that we're all here and doing well.

"The priority is to try to win the tournament, rather than to be the player of the tournament or young player of the tournament."

Another English youngster that has impressed at the World Cup has been Jude Bellingham, who Saka also thinks highly of as he said:

"He's a special player. I don't really know the words to describe him.

"I just hope he can continue to keep progressing because, for sure, he has a massive, massive future."

The Arsenal winger went on to talk about his nightmare moment in Euro 2020 final against Italy where he missed England’s final penalty leading to Italy being crowned champions of Europe.

"Personally, I feel like I've tried to move on from that moment,"

said. "I know I can never really forget about it, it's going to be history, but at the same time, coming out here and scoring those three goals has lifted me a lot.

"And of course, the love from the fans that I keep receiving lifts me a lot as well. It gives me a lot of confidence and I love to see it."

However, he doesn’t think that penalties would be a problem for him again:

"I have matured and progressed a lot since that moment - I wouldn't have stepped up the number of times I have for Arsenal if I was not confident," he said.

"If the moment comes and I am selected to take it, I will be more than happy to."
