'How do I even say thank you for all this?': Bukayo Saka returns to Arsenal to be greeted with wall of supportive messages as Gunners rally round star who suffered racist abuse following Euro 2020 penalty miss against Italy

Bukayo Saka was greeted by a wall of supportive messages from Arsenal fans after he returned to his club for the first time since receiving racist abuse in England's Euro 2020 campaign.

The 19-year-old starred for the Three Lions this summer and played a key role in Gareth Southgate's side reaching the final, but the teenager missed the winning penalty against Italy in the final and was racially abused alongside other England stars.

Saka was handed an extended holiday by Arsenal due to his international exploits this summer, with the Gunners collecting messages from fans while he was away to show him on his return.
