Bukayo Saka opens up on atmosphere behind scenes at Arsenal after throwing away title

Bukayo Saka has spoken about a period of change at Arsenal, following the announcement of a new contract for the 20-year-old winger.

Arsenal announced on Tuesday that the academy product had signed a new contract, ending speculation regarding a move away from north London. There had been talk of interest from title rivals Manchester City, but Saka has now ended speculation by signing a long-term deal with the Gunners.

Saka was in scintillating form during the early months of the season and at the World Cup, with the youngster's form for club and country marking him out as a potential Player of the Year candidate. However, his returns have dipped during the title run-in, with just a single goal and assist since the start of April coinciding with a similar drop in form for the entire Arsenal team.
