Saka swaps shirt with Celtic guard

England and Arsenal star Bukayo Saka swapped and signed shirts with Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown Thursday evening.

The Celtics clinched a berth in the Eastern Conference playoffs with a 127-112 victory over the Suns, and the England star was there to take all the action in courtside. Postgame, the 22-year-old stepped onto the court with the team and posed for photos with Brown before the duo swapped and signed their respective shirts.

The Arsenal star is currently on a break before departing with England for the international window, when they will play friendlies against Brazil and Belgium. With no match at the weekend, the winger was given a bit of free time, and he opted to go and spend it courtside at a Celtics game.

Saka stands 5’10 on the pitch, but pictured next to Brown, he looks significantly smaller! That’s because the shooting guard for the Celtics stands 6’6 on the court.

The pair of international friendlies arrive in just over a week’s time, with the first being against the Selecao and Vinicius Junior on March 23 and then a date with Romelu Lukaku and Belgium on Tuesday, March 26.
