While Saka grew up in England and had represented the country at youth levels, the 18-year-old’s parents are Nigerians.
Recently, the young winger said it would be tough for him to choose between Nigeria and England.
However, speaking to Daily Mail, Saka’s Spanish coach, said, “If I get asked the question then I can give my opinion.”
The Arsenal boss, however, noted that the youngster has not come to him for advice, adding that “for now, I will leave it totally independent with the player and his family as they normally have a big say with their background, their culture and where they are coming from. I don’t want to step in there.”
Arteta insisted that Saka is “Absolutely [he is good enough to play for England] – and he’s very clever to make the right decision, as well.”
