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.
While higher-ups at the Emirates Stadium would probably prefer to sit back and marvel at the 21-year-old's performances between now and the end of the season, they're in a race against time to keep him at the club. Saka faces a fairly uncertain future in north London having recently entered the final 18 months of his deal.
football.london understands that the Gunners remain locked in talks with the Hale End graduate over a potential extension and it's said that negotiations are progressing positively. Speaking ahead of Arsenal's trip to Leicester City last month, Mikel Arteta was coy about Saka's future but insisted that he intends on tying his best players down to long-term deals.
