Arsenal have been heavily reliant upon Bukayo Saka this season. The club's top scorer has developed significantly this season and will be expected to continue on this pathway to the elite level in the next campaign.
However, it has become apparent how tired Saka is in the second half of the season. The weight of being the creative and goalscoring spark for Arsenal has clearly taken its toll.
When looking at Saka's numbers, it is unsurprising that he has 13 goal contributions in the first half of matches but just five in the second. With Nicolas Pepe being so disappointing in his cameos this season bar Wolves, Arteta has been reluctant to rest the England international.
