MIKEL Arteta believes Arsenal and England are reaping the rewards of a friendly rivalry between Bukayo Saka and Noni Madueke, as the duo battle for starts for both club and country.

Madueke has capitalised on two injury spells for Saka this season to make a strong impression during his debut campaign with the Gunners and in England’s World Cup qualifying run. While Saka had previously nailed down the right-wing berth, Madueke's form ~ alongside injuries to Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz - saw Arteta deploy Saka in a central role during Sunday’s 4-0 FA Cup win over Wigan.

Arteta revealed the pair have taken their competitive spirit into the gym, though they remain close friends.
