1. Bukayo Saka

Even with the Aubameyang situation hanging over the club, you could make a very strong argument that Arsenal’s biggest contract decision to make in the coming weeks and months pertains to the future of Bukayo Saka.

Saka has been a sensation this season. At just 18, he broke into the starting XI under Unai Emery and then fully established as a future star once Arteta took over, settling into an adapted left-back role that suited his offensive skill set down to the ground. He is one of the brightest young talents in world football and looks set to be a long-term star at the Emirates.

However, Saka has just one year remaining on his contract, and per varying reports, progress has been slow to tie him down to a new one. There is still an expectation that he will eventually agree to a new deal, especially given that he hails from the academy at Hale End, but if Saka expresses a desire to leave, Arsenal will have no choice but to sell.
