Liverpool are keeping tabs on Bukayo Saka’s situation and could battle Manchester City for the Arsenal star if he becomes available.
According to Give Me Sport, Liverpool joined the chase for Bukayo Saka after Manchester City were reported to be interested recently. The chase for the Arsenal star could gain momentum with two of England’s biggest clubs chasing him, but the Gunners remain confident of keeping him for the long haul.
Bukayo Saka’s stock continues to rise after his performances in an Arsenal and England shirt. After Jude Bellingham, the winger was the best player for England at the World Cup as the Three Lions crashed out at the hands of runners-up France.
Saka scored three goals in the tournament and was instrumental in some big games until England’s quarterfinal loss. Now he’s expected to return to Arsenal shortly and will continue to help his club win the Premier League this season.
The Gunners are five points ahead of Manchester City, and Saka has been instrumental in this rise. The Arsenal attacker’s form continues to rise, but there are giant eyeballs from rival clubs as Saka’s contract will expire in 18 months.
Arsenal are highly confident of agreeing on a new deal once the season resumes. Mikel Arteta considers Saka a critical factor and will continue to build his team around the England international. Despite talks regarding a new deal now dragging on for the last five months, the Gunners remain confident of keeping him for the long haul.
Yet, there are concerns among the Arsenal fan base after Manchester City registered an interest in the winger. Pep Guardiola has remained a fan of the 20-year-old Arsenal attacker and might urge his club to pounce on even the slightest opportunity.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are keen on Saka, as Jurgen Klopp, like Guardiola, is known to admire the winger. The Reds are always looking for a fantastic market opportunity and might keep close tabs on Saka’s overall situation.
Hence, for Arsenal, making it to the Champions League is essential to keeping hold of star names like Saka, William Saliba, and Gabriel Martinelli. However, going by current form, the Gunners are well-placed to finish in the top four and could even win the Premier League.
