Revealed: Arsenal have jaw-dropping new valuation for Bukayo Saka
Arsenal value star man Bukayo Saka at around £150-200million as his stratospheric rise continues, sources have told Football Insider.
The Gunners now believe Saka, 22, is second only to Man City’s Erling Haaland as the most valuable player in the Premier League.
Saka made his senior debut in 2017 and has gone on to play 210 games for Arsenal.
Sources say club chiefs and manager Mikel Arteta feel the winger could “walk into any team in the world”.
Arsenal set Erling Haaland-esque price tag for Bukayo Saka
Liverpool and Man City have been among the clubs linked with a swoop for Saka in the past but that speculation has been quietened after he signed a fresh four-year deal at the Emirates Stadium last year (2023).
The London-born star has notched 13 goals and 13 assists in 31 games across all competitions so far in the 2023-24 campaign.
He is well on course to beat his best-ever return, which was 15 goals and 11 assists across 48 games last term as Arsenal ran Man City close for the Premier League title.
Saka, who has already notched 11 goals in 32 England caps, won the FA Cup with Arteta’s side in 2020.
Arsenal’s current club-record sale is the £35million deal which took Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to Liverpool in 2017.
Saka’s goals have helped the Gunners into third place this term – with the north London outfit just two points adrift of top spot.
In other news, Arsenal could now sell 23-year-old for pure profit.
