Arsenal must keep Saka to secure their future | OneFootball

Arsenal have started talks to extend Bukayo Saka’s contract after hiring Andrea Berta as their new sporting director.

Saka has been out since December after tearing his hamstring in a match against Crystal Palace. His absence has hindered Arsenal’s attack, highlighting the team’s reliance on him.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano claims Arsenal want to remove any doubts about Saka’s future. His contract runs until June 2027, but the club aims to secure a better deal for him.

Arsenal must build a winning team around Saka

Arsenal have improved under Mikel Arteta, but they have not won major silverware since lifting the FA Cup in 2020.

Arteta has completely revamped the squad, and Saka has been a key part of that progress. The 23-year-old is already one of the best wingers in football.

The Gunners have come close to winning the Premier League in the last two seasons but have fallen short. They are 12 points behind Liverpool this term and will likely miss out again.

Saka is Arsenal’s best attacker. He scores, creates chances and takes on defenders, making him crucial to the team. Arsenal struggle to create opportunities without him.

The club’s long-term project centres around Saka, Martin Odegaard and William Saliba. Keeping them together is key to future success.

Arsenal have previously lost top players, including Cesc Fabregas and Robin van Persie. They must avoid making the same mistake with Saka.

The Gunners must strengthen in key areas. A more reliable midfield, better squad depth and a top-class striker would help them compete with Manchester City and Liverpool.

Saka alone cannot win titles for Arsenal. The club must continue making smart signings to support him and build a team that can challenge for the biggest trophies.

His return to fitness will boost Arsenal as they face Fulham at the Emirates Stadium in their first game after the international break tonight.
