Bukayo Saka gets last laugh as Arsenal plan to stop him getting his own way backfires

Arsenal's golden boy Bukayo Saka could boast the upper hand when the time comes for him and his representatives to enter negotiations with the Gunners over a new contract.

Saka last penned an extension in 2020 shortly after Arsenal's FA Cup triumph, but with two years left to run the club are keen on tying his future to a new deal that would go on beyond 2024. With that being said, the club may have to start making some assurances to the England international before he puts pen to paper a second time.
