Jack Wilshere insists Bukayo Saka has 'special gifts'

Jack Wilshere has insisted that Bukayo Saka 'has special gifts' as the forward prepares to start for England against Iran today .

The 21-year-old has seemingly been given the nod over Phil Foden to start up front with Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane for the game, a reward for his fine form at the start of the season.

In his latest column for The Sun, Wilshere praised Saka's ability to 'instinctively know what is right in any given situation' and revealed that he tells his own Arsenal academy players to look up to the forward.
