Mikel Arteta has revealed that he is “very confident” of extending Bukayo Saka ’s Arsenal stay amid interest from Liverpool - but admitted he wants a deal done so he isn't "distracted"
The England winger has just two years remaining on his current deal at the Emirates Stadium, with it being reported that the Gunners’ Premier League rivals were aiming to take advantage of that with a swoop at some point in the near future. Liverpool were credited with an interest, with Jurgen Klopp understood to be a big fan of the youngster. Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola ’s Manchester City were also thought to be admirers.
Arsenal have remained firm in their stance over the academy graduate by insisting he is not for sale and aiming to agree a new deal with Saka. Arteta has now given an update on discussions and appears to be optimistic over the chances of Saka staying put.
