Bukayo Saka addresses Arsenal future ahead of contract talks: 'It's pretty clear'

Bukayo Saka says he wants to win things at Arsenal ahead of talks with the club over a new contract.

Saka has two years left on his current deal but Arsenal want to secure his long-term future.

Speaking ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League showdown with Real Madrid at Emirates Stadium, Saka was asked if he could reassure fans about his future.

Saka said: “I want to win and I want to win wearing this badge.

“It is pretty clear, the fans know how much I love them. You saw when I came on on Tuesday, they love me back. So it is a good relationship. I am really happy to be hear and I am focused on winning.

“I don’t think anyone is really in a rush. I have got two years left on my contract so it’s pretty relaxed.

“Everyone knows my thoughts and I’ve let you guys know as well, so I don’t think there is much else really.”

Saka was given a hero's welcome by Arsenal fans at Emirates Stadium when he made his comeback from injury against Fulham last week

Asked about his reception, Saka said: “It just reassured everything. It was special. You had to be in the stadium to feel the noise and energy they brough that night for me. I am really grateful.

“Like I said, I just want to win here and that is my focus.”
