£10,000 to see England v France

TICKETS for England’s World Cup clash against France are selling for £10,000 — more than 28 times their face value.

Gareth Southgate’s men face the reigning champions in the quarter- finals at 7pm on Saturday.

Around 9,500 England supporters are expected at Al Khor’s Al Bayt Stadium, boosted by ex-pats and hundreds flying in from Britain on flights costing more than £1,600.

Ahead of the match, Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka, 21, was bashful as he met Three Lions legend David Beckham.

In a clip that has gone viral on social media, he politely asks: “Sorry to interrupt, can I have a picture with you?”
