Bukayo Saka told to complete Liverpool transfer as Mikel Arteta faces Arsenal contract dilemma

Bukayo Saka has been named the 'perfect' fit for Jurgen Klopp's side, with Liverpool encouraged to plot a move for the Arsenal winger. The 20-year-old has been thinly linked with an exit from the Emirates Stadium as his contract saga continues to cast doubt over his future in north London.

The Hale End graduate featured 38 times for Mikel Arteta's side in the Premier League last season, directly contributing towards 18 goals. Saka's impressive displays steered Arsenal within touching distance of Champions League qualification though, despite missing out to rivals Tottenham Hotspur, he's courted interest from several top-flight clubs in Europe.

And, with his contract at the club set to expire in 2024, the Gunners are under growing pressure to include a release clause in a new deal, with talks over a new contract said to be commencing soon. Saka, who is valued at around £100million by CIES Football Observatory, has been central to much of Arsenal's success lately, spearheading the club into a new era.
