A move away from Arsenal this summer looks highly unlikely, but Manchester City’s interest in the youngster comes at an interesting time, as Arsenal are considering tying the England star down with a new long-term contract.

His current deal contains an option year, which would see him stay at the club until 2024, at least.

Arsenal were keen on avoiding a situation where Saka’s deal entered its final two years, and the two parties were set to enter into negotiations after the end of the 2021/22 campaign.

With every factor considered, Saka’s price tag is likely to be too hefty for his admirers, especially for this summer.

A recent report published by CIES Football Observatory revealed that Saka ranks in the top 20 of the most valuable players in world football.

In the Premier League, the England star comes only behind Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, Luis Diaz, Ruben Dias, Mason Mount and Jadon Sancho.
