The Reds are closely monitoring developments as Arsenal move to secure Bukayo Saka’s future with a new long-term contract extension.

Since breaking through the ranks at Hale End, Saka has developed into one of the Premier League’s elite wingers, a consistent performer and leader who embodies Arsenal’s modern identity.
