Arsenal are not thought to have made any progress in tying down Bukayo Saka to a new contract, according to Football London.

Saka has enjoyed a wonderful breakthrough season at Arsenal, but only has a year left on his contract, and Liverpool are now taking admiring glances at the England youth international, according to the Daily Mail.

Arsenal are desperate to tie the 18-year-old down to a new-deal, but their talks are proving to be very slow.

And the Gunners are said to have no progress over the last month, as they have attempted to sort Saka’s future out.

That may offer Liverpool some hope that they could still land a bargain deal for the youngster, if Arsenal continue to struggle to sort out his future.

If Arsenal were to lose Saka it would be a major blow to Mikel Arteta’s side, as he looks to be one of the most exciting talents in their ranks.

The 18-year-old has excelled at left-back this term, with his attacking quality clear for all to see.

And while there is still no reason for Arsenal to panic too much over Saka’s future, it will be a relief for the club if they are able to tie him down to a long-term deal sooner rather than later.
