According to 90min(h/t Sportskeeda), Manchester City are set to step up their interest in signing Arsenal striker Bukayo Saka. Pep Guardiola is a big fan of the England international and is eager to add him to his list.
He sees Bukayo Saka as a long-term replacement for Riyad Mahrez, who turns 32 next February. Saka’s current contract at the Emirates Stadium will expire at the end of next season.
The Gunners are trying to link him to a new contract, but talks have not progressed in recent months. Arsenal could look to capitalize on him next summer if they don’t pursue him to sign a new contract. Liverpool have also shown interest in taking over the services of the English side in recent months.
