Bukayo Saka warns Gareth Southgate against playing him in new position in England's Euro 2024 last-16 tie against Slovakia

<p>After England's goalless draw with Slovenia, Arsenal legend Ian Wright suggested Gunners ace Saka move to left-back - where he played earlier on in his career - to accommodate the likes of Chelsea talisman Cole Palmer in Gareth Southgate's team going forward. However, the 22-year-old seems to have pooh-poohed that idea. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The right-winger told <em>BBC 5 Live Sport</em>: "No, obviously I love Ian Wright. He says so many great things about me but I don't think putting me out of position was the solution. I think we can talk about this but it's in Gareth's hands and we just all have to trust whatever Gareth selects on the day." </p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Bukayo Saka responds to the suggestion he could play left-back for England against Slovakia 👇<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BBCFootball?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BBCFootball</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/EURO2024?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#EURO2024</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/England?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#England</a> <a href="https://t.co/3t1Qo0T539">pic.twitter.com/3t1Qo0T539</a></p>— BBC 5 Live Sport (@5liveSport) <a href="https://twitter.com/5liveSport/status/1806718388124733601?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 28, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT BUKAYO SAKA SAID

<p>England have struggled for form in the Euros so far, despite topping their group earlier this week. In their three matches to date, Southgate's system has looked uninspiring and lacking dynamism. But, if they want to progress further in Euro 2024, the Three Lions may need to make changes - both in terms of personnel and their formation. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Saka's England side take on Slovakia in Gelsenkirchen on Sunday evening in the last 16 of the competition. The winner of this clash will either face Switzerland or defending champions Italy in the quarter-finals. </p>
