Mikel Arteta has described the support and love Bukayo Saka has received since his Euro 2020 heartbreak as ‘the biggest trophy he could have.’
Saka, 19, saw his decisive spot-kick saved in England’s penalty shootout final defeat to Italy on Sunday.
Saka, along with Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho who were also unable to convert from the spot, were then subjected to abhorrent racist abuse on social media.
Arsenal figures from top to bottom of the club have been in contact with Saka since Sunday’s final to show him their support and that has also been replicated, for all three players, across the world of sport and beyond.
