That has led to a number of opinions about the Arsenal star, with people like Alan Shearer calling for Saka to be dropped in favour of Cole Palmer.
Wright had another suggestion, but Micah Richards is completely against that one.
Saka has started all three games for England at Euro 2024 so far. The Arsenal man was outstanding in the Three Lions’ opening fixture against Serbia and was even involved in Jude Bellingham’s goal in the game.
However, since then, Saka, like many of his England teammates, has been fairly quiet, and that has led to some criticism in recent weeks.
So, Arsenal legend Wright came up with the suggestion of deploying Saka at left-back in England’s next game, which is against Slovakia on Sunday.
That has caused quite a debate on social media, with some agreeing with Wright, while others are completely against it.
Richards has now had his say, and he is not on the same page as Wright.
“I love Wrighty, I love his opinions, but I wouldn’t play Saka at left-back,” Richards said on the Rest is Football podcast.
“I just think, again, we’re looking at fitting players in just to get them into the team. But then, you’ve got no balance to the team.
“Saka could play it (left-back), I think in terms of on the ball and overlapping and all that sort of thing, perfect. He’s strong, Saka, as well. He’s good in a duel.
“But, I just think, no, stick to your usual defenders. If you want to put Walker left back, I would go with that and maybe Trent right back. But no, I won’t put Saka left back.”
