Ray Parlour has said on talkSPORT (7:55am, December 30, 2022) that Bukayo Saka should not leave Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, amid speculation linking him with Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
Parlour has said that Arsenal need to sort out the contract situations of Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and William Saliba.
The former Arsenal star has added that he does not think that Saka will want to leave the Gunners anytime soon.
Earlier this month, GiveMeSport reported that Arsenal are desperate to tie down the 21-year-old England international attacker to a new contract.
The report claimed that Liverpool admire Saka, and that defending Premier League champions Manchester City are also monitoring his situation.

Parlour said: “The most important thing for Mikel Arteta now is to sign all the young guys on long deals. Saka’s contract, you have got Martinelli, Saliba.”
The pundit added: “Saka, he would have plenty of time to move on if he wants to move, but at this moment in time, he might think, ‘I have come through the ranks, there is a real togetherness here for the next couple of years, I want to be part of that’.”
Arsenal stay
In our opinion, Bukayo Saka will not leave Arsenal anytime soon, even though you can understand the temptation of Liverpool and Manchester City.
Saka has come through the youth ranks at Arsenal, who could win the Premier League title this season.
The 21-year-old is one of the first names on the Arsenal teamsheet, and the attacker is flourishing at the Emirates Stadium.
We believe that Saka will eventually sign a new contract with Arsenal and continue his journey at the Gunners.
