Mikel Arteta says winger Bukayo Saka offers Arsenal something “no other player can provide”. The England international won both free-kicks which Declan Rice converted in the Gunners’ 3-0 Champions League dismantling of Real Madrid on Tuesday night.

Bukayo Saka's Arsenal contract runs until 2027 and the 23-year-old recently suggested he'd be open to penning fresh terms with his boyhood club.

Mikel Arteta says Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka is “ready to go” for his return from a long-term hamstring injury. The 23-year-old’s last appearance was the 5-1 victory over Crystal Palace on December 21, where he sustained the issue with his right hamstring.
