Arsenal star hints Mikel Arteta already has the 'next Bukayo Saka' following win vs Brentford

Arsenal loanee Folarin Balogun believes Mikel Arteta already has the 'next Bukayo Saka' in his squad following Ethan Nwaneri's debut.

Saka has been influential for the Gunners since breaking into the senior squad a few years ago and is now being monitored by the likes of Real Madrid, Liverpool and Manchester City. Arteta shares the same confidence as the 21-year-old that a new contract will be agreed soon, extending his current deal which runs out in 2024.

Balogun is considered a top talent for Arsenal and is enjoying a successful spell on loan with Ligue 1 outfit Stade Reims, scoring five goals and providing two assists in his first eight appearances for the French club. Arteta handed a debut off the bench for record-breaking 15-year-old talent Ethan Nwaneri during the 3-0 win away to Brentford at the weekend as the Gunners look to have produced another exciting youngster.
