Former Arsenal forward Theo Walcott has revealed Bukayo Saka\u2019s best position.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Walcott, who played for Arsenal and England, said Saka\u2019s best position is as a right-winger.<\/span><\/p>\n

This was after England boss, Gareth Southgate played the youngster as a wing-back for England against Italy in the Nations League last week.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the 1-0 defeat to Italy, Saka looked lost as a right-back and often tried to join in the attack rather than having to do defensive duties.<\/span><\/p>\n

Walcott claimed that the best position for the England international is as a winger.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSaka is obviously playing wing-back as well. He has not played in that role at Arsenal. I like him as a right winger. I like him as that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Saka has been in impressive form for Mikel Arteta\u2019s side this season and has been predominantly used as a right winger.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
