Manchester City plotting move for Arsenal star, Arteta can't afford to lose him

Manchester City are tracking Arsenal star Bukayo Saka ahead of a potential bid, according to reports.

Manchester City are interested in signing Arsenal star Bukayo Saka, according to new reports.

Saka has been one of the Gunners' key players this season, scoring four goals and providing six assists in 14 Premier League appearances.

He has recently starred at the World Cup for England, performing particularly strongly in the 2-1 quarter-final defeat to France on Saturday.

Saka started four of England's five games at the tournament, ending it with three goals. He was the joint-top scorer for his nation, alongside Marcus Rashford.

He will now return to Arsenal, who are back in competitive action on December 26 when they host West Ham in the Premier League.

The Gunners are five points clear of second-placed City at the top of the division, with 14 games having been played by the majority of the top half sides.

Now, reports claim that Pep Guardiola's side are keeping an eye on one of Arsenal's stars.

Man City keen on Saka

According to 90min, City's future transfer plans will involve trying to sign Saka, as well as his England team-mate, Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham, who is interesting a host of top European clubs.

However, it is claimed that any move is set to be dependent on the outcome of contract talks between Arsenal and the 21-year-old.

His current deal expires in the summer of 2024, but The Athletic reported in October that the club were due to open talks with the trio of Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and William Saliba.

Football Insider then claimed last month that Saka had agreed a deal in principle on an extension worth £200,000-a-week - but that has not yet been officially announced.

Gunners fans - and boss Mikel Arteta - will be desperately hoping the two parties can come to an official agreement in order to warn off interest from other clubs, including big-spending City.

Saka is close to bringing up a 15-year association with the Gunners, having joined the club in 2008 at the age of seven.
