Arsenal legend Paul Merson has warned Bukayo Saka that "he will find things harder" as his career progresses - which may be a problem for Mikel Arteta. The Hale End star has enjoyed his best season so far for the Gunners after scoring 13 goals and providing a further 10 assists in 38 appearances this term.
The English winger has been a driving force behind Arsenal's title charge, helping his side to an eight-point lead at the top of the table. It's not just at the Emirates Stadium where Saka is impressing, he has also shown he is capable of performing on the biggest stage after scoring three goals at the World Cup in Qatar.
The Daily Mail claim that Saka is set to become the best-paid player at the club on £300,000-per-week whilst another report suggests the club are ready to make an announcement regarding his new contract that will no doubt delight supporters and Arteta in particular. At the beginning of the year, 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.
