Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka has been linked with a move to Liverpool.

If rumours are to be believed, Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka is on Liverpool’s radar.

The 18-year-old is having a wonderful breakthrough season with the Gunners, scoring three goals and setting up eight across all competitions.

Even more impressive is the fact that Saka has been playing as Arsenal’s left-back for a few months after Kieran Tierney suffered a shoulder injury in December.

According to The Daily Mail, Liverpool are keen on the teenage whiz, who only has 18 months left on his contract in North London.

His contractual situation is concerning some Arsenal fans – and potentially even some of Mikel Arteta’s team too.

Alexandre Lacazette scored the winner in their 1-0 victory away to Olympiacos on Thursday night.

Saka responded to the French striker’s post-match message on Instagram, before the former Lyon hitman wrote back ‘Sign please’.

According to The Times, Arsenal are worried that the Liverpool-linked star could reject a new deal.

You can understand it, if that is the case. The Gunners might be moving in a promising direction under Arteta, but it’s nothing compared to what Jurgen Klopp could achieve at Anfield over the coming years, with the Reds boasting a 25-point lead at the top of the Premier League table.
