Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta believes Bukayo Saka can still improve 'a lot' and says his players must enjoy the final 10 games of the season. The Gunners hold an eight-point lead over Manchester City after beating Crystal Palace before the international break as they prepare to continue their fight for the Premier League title.
Arsenal legend Paul Merson believes Saka will need to adapt his game as his career progresses in order to stay at the top as opponents try to limit his impact on matches. The Hale End star is in talks to sign a new long-term deal at the Emirates Stadium after football.london reported that Arsenal had actually activated a one-year extension option in Saka's contract - with his current deal now set to expire in 2024.
football.london reported last month that the 21-year-old had informed the club of his desire to stay put thus handing Manchester City and Liverpool - two clubs that have been heavily linked with a move for the winger - a major blow heading into the summer transfer window. Arteta will be relying on Saka to continue his stunning form this season heading into the final 10 games of the 2022/23 campaign as Arsenal chase down a first Premier League title in nearly 20 years.
