Arsenal summer transfer priority clear as Edu weighs up Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham swoop

Arsenal's priority ahead of the summer transfer window has become clearer than ever before following England's win over Ukraine. Bukayo Saka provided the cross for Harry Kane, who put the Three Lions ahead at Wembley, before he doubled his country's lead just minutes later with a spectacular strike from range.

Saka faces a fairly uncertain future in north London having recently entered the final 18 months of his deal.
