Bukayo Saka was heavily criticised at the start of the season due to the lack of direct goal involvement. However, in recent weeks he has silenced the critics, and once again established himself as one of Mikel Arteta’s most important players.
This has been epitomised by the fact that he has had the same impact on the Gunners that Kevin De Bruyne has for Manchester City from a creative point of view so far this season. He has been a handful for the opposition and arguably Arsenal’s most threatening player.
However, The Hale End graduate’s ongoing contract situation remains a slight concern for Arsenal with Saka’s current deal set to expire in 2024. Manchester City are reportedly set to announce the renewal of their homegrown talent in Phill Foden and Edu needs to push to do the same considering both sides are currently leading the Premier League table.
