Arsenal: The only 3 attackers who can’t be sold this summer

2. Bukayo Saka

Bukayo Saka is something else. When you look at his stats this year, you’d think him a seasoned veteran. The kind of guy who has been around the club for years and knows the ins and outs of all his attacking mates.

You wouldn’t think him a teenager playing out of position at leftback. But that’s exactly what Saka is and has been this year. He’s been playing leftback and still managing to lead the club in assists, as well as serving as one of our most consistent threats to goal.

There’s still some confusion about what’s taking a long-term contract extension so long, but that’s another reason why he is so far up on this list. If we can’t get him that contract extension, things may start to get sticky and more than a little uncomfortable.

With Saka, we have a sure-fire star who can greatly alleviate the stresses of losing a world-class striker or two. And the fact that he’s been playing out of position makes it another one of those “we haven’t even fully experienced what he could be” situations.
