Arsenal handed major Bukayo Saka contract boost amid Liverpool transfer links

Bukayo Saka is not planning to leave Arsenal this summer, according to recent reports.

The talented winger has established himself as one of the best players at the club in recent times - a hugely impressive feat when you consider that he is still just 20-years-old.

Saka's impressive performances throughout the 2020/21 campaign earned him the club's player of the year award and he has continued to showcase his talents this term, notching seven goals and four assists in the Premier League already.

However, his consistency has not gone unnoticed outside the Emirates Stadium, with a transfer to Liverpool linked given his contract in north London is set to expire in the summer of 2024.

Still, football.london revealed back in January that the Gunners plan to offer the England international a new deal at the end of the current campaign and football.london understands that a new contract will reflect the youngster's role in the team as one of the most important players.

Now, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has delivered an update on Saka's future, claiming that Arsenal supporters have no reason to be worried about a summer exit.

“They’re also working on Bukayo Saka’s future because this boy is really special,” Romano told Rio Ferdinand’s YouTube channel.

“It’s always Liverpool rumours, this is what I was asking yesterday and the answer I received was that Bukayo loves Arsenal, he loves the club, he’s a good guy and a genuine guy, and this is why he’s not planning to leave in the summer.

“He’s not focused on a new deal now because he wants to focus on the season, but at the end of the season he will have a meeting with Arsenal and discuss a new deal.”
