Todd Boehly has plan to complete controversial £86m Arsenal transfer as Chelsea prepare contract

Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is looking to hand Arsenal a devastating blow in the race to secure the future of Bukayo Saka. The 21-year-old has been thinly linked with an exit from the Emirates Stadium recently as he enters the final two years of his deal in north London.

According to CBS journalist Ben Jacobs on The Football Terrace, the Blues are willing to offer Saka a better contract than the one he's set to sign with the Gunners. The report states that the Hale End graduate is expected to sign a £200,000-per-week contract with the north Londoners.

But, Boehly is keen to intercept talks and bring the England international to Stamford Bridge. However, it's said that Arsenal view Saka as ‘untouchable’ so Chelsea could struggle to engineer a deal.
