Arsenal attacker Bukayo Saka has broken his silence after England’s World Cup exit.

Saka has made a social media post thanking the “special” squad, Gareth Southgate and supporters.

He wrote: “I can’t explain how I feel, but we gave everything out there and we really wish we could have brought it home for you all this time.

“I just wanted to say a genuine thank you to our fans, you’ve all been amazing both at the games and at home this tournament and we felt it.

“This group are really special and talented, so although we are disappointed now, I am really excited for our future. Thank you to my @England family – my team mates, Gareth, the coaching and all the backroom staff for all their hard work and dedication to help us get this far.

“We will build from this and with your support we will keep improving and making progress together. See you all soon.”
