Arsenal supporters will love what Bukayo Saka did with Gabriel and Marquinhos during Chelsea win

Arsenal continued their fine pre-season form as they demolished Chelsea in a 4-0 win last night. It was the Gunners' last match in America before flying back to London and they certainly put on a show.

Bukayo Saka, in particular, got the fans off their feet after scoring his team's third of the evening and his celebration didn't disappoint. Edouard Mendy could only parry Granit Xhaka's effort into the path of Saka, who found himself in the right place at the right time to slot home from a few yards out.

Following a huddled celebration with his teammates, Saka joined Brazilian duo Marquinhos and Gabriel Magalhaes for a little dance. It appeared to be one he had done with Gabriel before, but now he is ensuring the new arrival gets involved in the fun too.

The supporters will be hoping they see more of that in the coming years as speculation over the 20-year-old's future continues to grow. There have been reports suggesting Arsenal have now verbally proposed a new and improved contract offer to Saka, and there's hope that it will be agreed upon.

Current Premier League champions Manchester City are believed to be admirers of the England international, as are Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool, but Mikel Arteta will not be willing to let one of his best players leave easily, regardless of his positive relationships with those at the Etihad Stadium.

Saka is said to be happy in north London and satisfied with the club's progress, but Champions League football will no doubt be a target he is hungry to reach. However, if his celebration is anything to go by, it appears he is fully focused on the present and enjoying his football.
