Overview

  • Saka provided the pass for Harry Kane’s opener in England’s 5-0 win in Latvia that clinched World Cup qualification and played 61 controlled minutes before being substituted.
  • After hamstring surgery last December and a stop‑start start to this season, he has returned to strong form with recent goals for Arsenal and a goal against Wales plus the Latvia assist for England.
  • Mikel Arteta has voiced support for a new contract and has maintained open communication with England manager Thomas Tuchel about managing Saka’s workload during the international break.
  • Arsenal are preparing formal discussions over an extension as Saka enters the final two years of his deal, with reports indicating positive early movement but no agreement announced.
  • An unnamed Premier League sporting director described the third year of a five‑year contract as “dangerous territory,” underscoring the need to decide on renewal or consider alternatives as Saka has publicly stated he wants to stay and win with Arsenal.
