Arsenal fans are confident that young midfielder Bukayo Sako will sign a new contract after seeing the youngster’s latest Instagram post.
The 18-year-old has been one of the best players for the North London club this season notching up 3 goals and 10 assists. However, his current contract is due to expire next year and the club are keen on extending his contract.
The midfielder’s Instagram post has a photo of him as a kid in Arsenal colors but what caught the eye was the caption below the picture. It said:
“kid with a dream”
This has led fans to believe that Saka is all set to extend his contract which is due to expire next summer. He has shown maturity beyond his age given that he has played a lot of games in the unfamiliar position of left-back.
But with rumors of Liverpool circling(via Sun) around the player, fans will certainly be feeling a little happier after seeing this particular post. It is good for the Gunners and Saka himself to get the contract situation sorted as soon as possible. This will prevent other clubs from trying to snatch him away from the Emirates.

Bukayo Saka has just posted this on his Instagram with "kid with a dream" as his caption…

Due to injuries suffered by first-choice left-backs Sead Kolasinac and Kieran Tierney, Saka had been forced to deputize there. But now that they both are getting back to full fitness, we could see the 18-year-old back on the wings where he likes to play.
One aspect of Saka this season that has been very impressive is the maturity that he has shown on the ball. This is excellent given how little top-level football he has actually played. He links up well with his teammates and this has allowed him to get all those assists. Whether he is playing as a defender or further forward, he is always an option to spring some attacks.
And even early into his reign as the Arsenal boss, Mikel Arteta had spoken about what he liked in Saka. This will be encouraging for both the fans and the player as it shows that the manager wants him to stay at the club. We hope that an announcement comes sooner rather than later.
