Luke Shaw 'exposes' Arsenal star Bukayo Saka as ‘fan’ of another Premier League club
The Manchester United left-back has suggested his England team-mate is not a Gunners supporter.
Bukayo Saka came through the youth team ranks at Arsenal to become a Gunners first team star - but England team-mate Luke Shaw has suggested the attacker supports another Premier League side.
The 22-year-old made his Gunners debut in 2018 and has not looked back since.
He has become a regular starter for Mikel Arteta's side and currently has 58 goals in 226 games for the North London outfit.
Saka has also picked up silverware with Arsenal, with an FA Cup and two Community Shields claimed so far.

And Saka has been part of an Arsenal team which has finished runners-up in the Premier League to Manchester City in the past two campaigns.
Saka has also become increasingly more involved in the England set-up, racking up 38 caps and scoring 12 goals since making his debut for the Three Lions in 2020.
Saka scored the latest of his dozen strikes for Gareth Southgate's side last night as England secured a place in the Euro 2024 semi-finals.
He equalised for England against Switzerland to ensure the quarter-final in Dusseldorf went to extra-time, ending 1-1 after more than 120 minutes of football.
A penalty shootout then ensued, and Saka converted his spot kick as England won 5-3 to book a place against the Netherlands in the final four of the tournament in Germany.
One player who made his first appearance of Euro 2024 last night against the Swiss was Manchester United defender Luke Shaw, the left-back coming off the bench to play his first football since February after returning to fitness.
Shaw will be hoping to play a part alongside Saka in Wednesday evening's semi-final versus the Dutch, with the winners to reach the Euro 2024 final and face the victors of France and Spain.
Both Shaw and Saka have been speaking on the Lions' Den from inside the England camp.
Saka was asked what the favourite goal of his career has been and he said it was one for the Gunners against United.
And United defender Shaw has suggested it is because Saka is a supporter of the OId Trafford club.
Shaw said: "It’s because B supports United, that’s why it’s his favourite…"
Saka replied: "You're lying bro."
But Shaw responded: "B, come on, be honest, we can ask anyone in the squad!"
Saka a United fan? Surely not.
