'He's fine' - Arteta backs Saka after England penalty miss as Arsenal set new target for 19-year-old

The Gunners star suffered Euro 2020 heartache with the Three Lions this summer, but his club boss sees a bright future

Mikel Arteta says Bukayo Saka is "fine" on the back of Euro 2020 penalty shootout heartache with England and expects the 19-year-old to take his game to even greater heights with Arsenal in 2021-22.

A talented teenager impressed for his country at a first senior international tournament, but missed a decisive spot-kick in an agonising final defeat to Italy that led to him becoming a target for trolls.

Saka has vowed not to let "hate" win, saying "I will not let this break me", and his club manager believes there are plenty of positives to take from a steep learning curve.
