'Rest & reset' - Arsenal star Bukayo Saka goes paddle boarding as he unwinds after Euro 2024 heartbreak and gears up for new Premier League season

The Gunners winger did not travel to the United States for the club's pre-season as he is enjoying an extended vacation after England's journey at Euro 2024. The 22-year-old recently shared some photographs from his holiday on Instagram where he can be seen paddle boarding. In the caption of his post, the player wrote, "Rest & Reset".

The youngster enjoyed a successful campaign with the North London side last season where he scored 20 goals across all competitions and provided 14 assists in 47 appearances. He also regularly started for the Three Lions in the Euros and played in multiple positions including as a right wing-back when Gareth Southgate implemented a three-man back tactics in the knockout stage.

The winger was Arsenal's highest scorer in the Premier League last season with 16 league goals to his name in 35 matches. He played an important role as the Gunners gave a tough fight to Manchester City for the league title.

Saka is expected to join the squad in the next few days and could play his first pre-season friendly against Lyon on August 7 at the Emirates Stadium.
