Arsenal have been handed a clear message for their next transfer priority and that is the renewal of Bukayo Saka's contract. The youngster was awarded the England Men's Player of the Year award for 2021/22, beating the likes of Harry Kane and Declan Rice to the accolade.
It comes after a difficult, yet resilient year for the Gunners talisman, who bounced back from low moments to produce some all-time highs. One of those lows was missing a decisive penalty in the Three Lions' Euro 2020 final loss to Italy last summer, but Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was pleased with how he bounced back.
"I said to you guys, when that [penalty miss] happened to Bukayo [Saka] it happened for a reason," the Spaniard said back in April. "He learned so much and he’s been through so much that’s why he’s having the season he’s having today.
