England goalscoring hero Bukayo Saka has a shot at golf

Must read



He can strike a golf ball as well as a football, it appears. But after teeing-off in style with his England team-mates, Bukayo Saka came back down to earth with a bump.

The Arsenal forward, 22, was filmed being applauded by the squad after striking a golf ball as the team regrouped at their training camp – a golf and spa resort in Blankenhain, Thuringia, ahead of tomorrow’s showdown with the Netherlands.

Saka turned to acknowledge their praise, before promptly tripping over a golf bag.

He ended up on the grass, as teammates including Luke Shaw, 28 and Trent Alexander-Arnold, 25, struggled to contain their laughter. 

The video was captioned on X: ‘From hero to zero… Never change Bukayo Saka.’

The light-hearted moment came on Sunday after England defeated Switzerland 5-3 on Saturday to advance to the Euro 2024 semi-finals.
