He even picked up a Player of the Match award in England's 6-2 victory over Iran in the 2022 FIFA Men's World Cup. He even has a hat trick to his name against North Macedonia at the "Theater of Dreams", Old Trafford.
The award was presented as a surprise to him by his England teammate and good friend, James Maddison at St George's Park. Saka thought it to be his birthday present and was overwhelmed to know that he was named England's Men Player of the Year.
This award also follows Saka's recent accolades of being PFA Young Player of the Season and named in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year.
