Former Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger has advised England forward, Bukayo Saka to try and use his right foot more if he wants to improve his game. 

This was revealed by Arsenal executive vice-chair, Tim Lewi, who claimed the legendary Gunners manager offered the winger the “words of wisdom” when he returned to the Emirates last year.

Wenger spent over two decades with the North London club and was in charge between 1996 to 2018.

The Frenchman, however, returned to the Premier League outfit for the first time in over four years last December to watch a 3-1 victory over West Ham United and met with Mikel Arteta, Saka and other Arsenal players.
