Liverpool and Manchester City reportedly hold an interest in Saka’s signature.

Alex McLeish has told Arsenal the only way to stop the rumours linking Bukayo Saka with a move away from the club is to give him a new contract.

The attacker has become one of the club’s key men, and he simply keeps getting better. Saka is one of the lowest-paid players at the Gunners and he also has a deal that expires in 2024.

Liverpool and Manchester City reportedly hold an interest in his signature and they could pounce to add him to their squad.

Meanwhile, McLeish believes he will not be looking to leave the club now and advises Arsenal to do the obvious.

He spoke to Football Insider: “He is still a young lad and I feel, in this stage of his career, he has a passion for the club that he is at.

“I can see an extension of that contract coming into play sometime soon. Arsenal obviously want the speculation to stop.

“The only way that will happen is if that gets tied up by the club. That’s the only way speculation will stop.”
