Mikel Arteta provides Bukayo Saka contract update as Arsenal eye Liverpool and Man City blow

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has revealed he is "confident" that starlet Bukayo Saka will sign a new contract with the Gunners in the coming months, but stressed things will "take time". It comes after extensive talks with the England international surrounding an extension with the club.

The vibrant winger last signed a contract back in 2019 - aged just 17-years-old at the time. Since then, Saka has gone on to become a driving force in the team under Arteta, creating chaos down the right flank for any opponent he comes up against.

Already a regular starter for both club and country, it's no wonder Arsenal are looking to sort a new deal with just two-years left on his current one. His performances and promise have seen plenty of transfer links, with the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City rumoured with a move.
