Arsenal will hold talks over a new deal for Bukayo Saka

Bukayo Saka

Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Bukayo Saka is keen on staying at Arsenal despite the possibility of the Gunners missing out on Champions League football next season.

The 21-year-old is an integral part of the club, having made over 125 appearances for the north Londoners in all competitions. His impressive displays have also earned him several call-ups to the national team.

The Englishman has had another excellent campaign with the Gunners this year. With 12 goals and six assists to his name, he is a constant threat in the opposition half.

Consecutive defeats in the Premier League last week have seriously dented Arsenal’s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League. This could be a stumbling block in their plans for the summer transfer window, with one of them being a contract extension for Saka.

Reports have previously claimed that the youngster has been attracting interest from other clubs in England. Liverpool and Manchester City are also monitoring his progress.

In a recent interview with CaughtOffside, Fabrizio Romano has shed more light on the situation. He insists the winger is keen to stay in the English capital, and discussions over a contract extension are expected to take place at the end of this season. The journalist said:

“Arsenal have a meeting scheduled with Bukayo Saka’s agent at the end of the current season.”

“At the moment there are no changes related to the situation for the UCL spot race: Saka is in love with Arsenal, but obviously the negotiations are still at early stages. As of today, Saka is not yet negotiating with other clubs.”

Arsenal Fever View:

Saka’s current contract does not expire until 2023 with an option to extend it for another year. So there isn’t an immediate danger for the Gunners.

Tying the winger down to a long-term deal should be Arsenal’s top-most priority in the summer. The club has to reward him with a new offer befitting his value to the squad.

It is quite certain that the youngster will stay at the club. He is a product of the Hale End academy and a local boy, who knows what it means to represent the badge. It is only a matter of time before he pens down a new contract.
