Bukayo Saka hailed as the 'face of England's future' by Joe Cole after the winger's stunning hat-trick against North Macedonia

Bukayo Saka has been hailed by pundits following his starring role in England's 7-0 demolition of North Macedonia, with Joe Cole labelling the winger as the 'face of England's future'.

Saka scored the first hat-trick of his career in the victory at Old Trafford, with his stunning second goal the highlight of the Euro 2024 qualifier.

The 21-year-old latched onto a pass from Trent Alexander-Arnold before sending a powerful left footed drive into the top corner.

Cole claimed Saka had struck the ball with 'violence', with the former England midfielder believing the Arsenal winger has nailed down his spot in Gareth Southgate's side.
