Bukayo Saka issues warning to Premier League opponents as Mikel Arteta sets Arsenal demand

Bukayo Saka has sent a warning to his Premier League opponents after admitting he is much 'smarter and stronger' now than before as he aims to keep getting better. The Arsenal star has scored 11 goals and provided nine assists in all competitions so far this season, proving to be the club's talisman once again.

There have been some concerns regarding Saka picking up potential injuries given the amount of times he is fouled, with Gunners full-back Oleksandr Zinchenko urging referees to offer him more protection. The England international has played down this kind of talk after admitting that it is common for wingers to often be kicked by opposition defenders.

Saka has set himself some lofty standards as he continues to try and improve his game to help his boyhood club challenge for the Premier League title and in cup competitions. Mikel Arteta has been influential in the 21-year-old's development at the Emirates Stadium with Saka explaining how his manager helps him improve.
