Arsenal's Bukayo Saka sends surprise message in new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II advert

Bukayo Saka's made headlines for something other than his fantastic Premier League form this week by featuring in the latest Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II advert.

The Englishman scored twice in Arsenal's 3-2 win over Liverpool at the weekend as he helped to ensure that the Gunners returned to the top of the Premier League table. Mikel Arteta's side have won eight of their opening nine games and currently lead Pep Guardiola's Manchester City by one point.

Saka is pretty much guaranteed a spot on the plane to Qatar for the World Cup in November too as he's become one of Gareth Southgate's most important players. The 21-year-old was awarded England Men's Player of the Year for his performances over the past 12 months and he'll be looking to continue that form for both club and country moving forward.

Nevertheless, like most people his age, he enjoys some of his free time playing video games with friends. With the Call of Duty franchise set to release their newest instalment on October 28, Saka was involved in the latest advert promoting the game.

In the video, he jokingly urges fans of the game to "call in sick and play all day." The Arsenal maestro also took to Twitter to promote his partnership with the gaming institution. "Ready to squad up with my team. #ModernWarfare #CODSquadUp #COD_Partner @CallofDuty," he tweeted.

The tweet was accompanied with a 'remote control' and a 'fire' emoji as he continued to advertise the new product.

Arsenal supporters are likely going to enjoy seeing him in the advert. In the meantime, though, Saka himself will be fully focused on the Gunners' next task which is to beat Bodo/Glimt in Norway on Thursday.
