Arsenal Keen To Hand Saka New Contract As Manchester United, Liverpool, Bayern Show Interest
Published: February 12, 2020
Arsenal are hopeful of extending the contract of England youth international of Nigerian descent Bukayo Saka to ward off the interest of Manchester United, Liverpool and clubs outside England including Bayern Munich, the Daily Mail is reporting.
The Hale End Academy graduate is entering the final 18 months of his contract and would expectedly attract the attention of big sides.
Saka first broke into Arsenal's first team last season under former head coach Unai Emery making four senior appearances under the Spaniard.
This season, the youngster who has not played for the England senior side has made 23 appearances in all competitions under Emery, interim coach Freddie Ljungberg and now substantive coach Mikel Arteta.
Saka's current deal with the Gunners earns him a measly £3,000 per week, judging by his undoubted qualities as a versatile player who can play as a left winger and left-back.
