MANCHESTER CITY “really like” Arsenal star Bukayo Saka, reports claim.
The 21-year-old winger is said to be attracting interest from the Etihad.
Manchester City are reportedly big fans of Arsenal star Bukayo SakaGetty
And the Gunners could be forced to brace themselves for an audacious swoop from their title rivals in the future.
Pep Guardiola’s side are big fans of the England ace, according to CBS journalist Ben Jacobs, writing for CaughtOffside.
City are claimed to be monitoring his development, which has seen him go from strength to strength in recent months.
Saka has also been linked with a move to Liverpool in the past.
However, the report adds that Saka is currently seen as untouchable by Arsenal.
It’s also said that Saka has a strong relationship with boss Mikel Arteta, both on a working and personal level.
And instead of losing Saka to City, the Gunners are expecting him to agree a new deal and commit his future to the club long-term.
Arsenal reportedly triggered a clause in Saka’s current contract earlier this month that keeps him at the club until at least 2024.

Talks are currently thought to be ongoing over a new and improved deal.
However, discussions over fresh terms are expected to take time.
Saka has been in stellar form for the Gunners this season, helping Arteta’s side to the top of the Premier League table.
He has scored seven goals and provided seven assists in 19 Prem games this campaign.
