Campbell fears Arsenal may lose Saka after what he’s seen from Grealish
Kevin Campbell fears Arsenal may lose Bukayo Saka after another impressive performance from the teenager at the Euros.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Gunners and Everton striker claimed Mikel Arteta’s side “need to get their act together” if they want to keep the 19-year-old long-term.
Saka‘s stock is rising after he impressed in his second consecutive start at the Euros, as England beat Germany 2-0 on Tuesday to set up a quarter-final tie against Ukraine.
The winger has three years remaining on his contract at the Emirates, having put pen to paper on a new deal last July.
Campbell claimed Saka’s involvement in the England squad will give him a thirst for winning the biggest honours in football.
“Saka’s future is a constant worry for us Gooners, if I am honest with you,” he told Football Insider. “We do not want to admit it but it is a big worry.
“We know the club have not been moving in the right direction in recent years.
“Saka has been rubbing shoulders with Jack Grealish and Phil Foden at this tournament and he seems to have a great rapport with them.
“He will be looking at some of the guys in the squad who are winning the biggest trophies in football at other English clubs while Arsenal are still in transition. It is a tough one.
“Arsenal need to get their act together because his level is going to move up.”
