ARSENAL chief Josh Kroenke and manager Mikel Arteta are among those at the club to rally around Bukayo Saka.
The teenager was left devastated after missing the crucial penalty during England’s Euro 2020 final shootout defeat to Italy.
Saka, 19, has since also been the subject of hideous racist abuse online.
And his club are determined to protect him and offer him all the support that he needs.
According to the Standard, Kroenke, Arteta and chief executive Vinai Venkatesham have all contacted the winger since Sunday night’s match.
And the latter has reached out to club staff to reassure all that he will get the help that he needs.
Academy chief Per Mertesacker has also contacted Arsenal‘s star man.
The club’s stars have rallied around their young pal too.
Captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang wrote: “Proud of you my lil bro!! This will build your success you will see.”
Emile Smith Rowe wrote: “Keep your head up brother. We all love you.”
Fellow young gun Gabriel Martinelli added: “So proud of you my bro. Keep your head up.”
Kieran Tierney, Mohamed Elneny, Eddie Nketiah, David Luiz, Shkodran Mustafi and Dani Ceballos were also among his team-mates past and present to reach out on social media.
And club legend Ian Wright was also quick to share his support calling him ‘brave’ for stepping up to take a penalty.
He told ITV: “He’s more than capable of taking that penalty, I don’t think age plays a part in that.
“He’s brave enough to want to take it. You say should he be? Of course he should, he’s in the England team because he’s good enough to be here.
“I’m devastated for everyone, not just Bukayo. I’m delighted that he’s brave enough to go up and take one.”
Saka was immediately consoled on the pitch by Kalvin Phillips, who ran over to make sure his pal was alright.
