As soon as Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka arrived at Saint George’s Park for international duty, Declan Rice brought up his recent, well publicized, FaceTime conversation with Kim Kardashian.
The Three Lions team landed at England’s base on Monday morning for the first time in 2023 in preparation for their forthcoming Euro 2024 qualifying matches against Italy and Ukraine.
The in-form Saka was then given an entertaining welcome by international colleagues Rice and Luke Shaw.
West Ham midfielder Rice can be heard saying: “He’s been on FaceTime with Kim Kardashian, bruv. He doesn’t want us anymore.”

Saka replies: “Do you want me to say hello to you or not, bro?” before the pair finally rekindled their bromance.
Last week, Saka decided to FaceTime Kim Kardashian’s son and his group of friends after Arsenal’s penalty shoot-out defeat to Sporting CP in the Europa League last-16 .
Kardashian, the American reality star with 348 million followers on Instagram made a surprise appearance at the Emirates on Thursday night with her seven-year-old son, Saint.

She watched from the stands as Mikel Arteta’s side were knocked out on spot-kicks.
And during the tense shoot-out, Kardashian showed her support for England international Bukayo Saka, cheering his well-taken effort that beat Sporting goalkeeper Antonio Adan.
Arsenal crashed out of the competition but Kardashian’s son, Saint, seemed to enjoy what will no doubt be a core memory for the youngster.
England will face Italy on Thursday night in Naples before coming up against Ukraine on Sunday.
