Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has fired a warning to Premier League title rivals Manchester City following the 4-1 win against Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon. The Hale End star has been a talisman in attack once again this season as he scored twice and grabbed an assist in the win against the Eagles.
Saka now has 10+ goals and assists for a second consecutive season for the Gunners as he aims to fire Arsenal to their first title in nearly 20 years. The north Londoners head into the international break eight points clear of City at the top of the table with just 10 games left to play.
Arsenal remain confident that they will secure Saka's long-term future at the Emirates Stadium ahead of next season. The 21-year-old's contract is set to expire next summer with talks ongoing over a renewal to fend off transfer interest from Liverpool and City.

After yet another influential display for the Gunners, Saka was quick to warn City and other Premier League rivals that Arsenal will only get better and better in the years to come under Mikel Arteta. Speaking to BBC's Match of the Day, the Hale End star said: "You have to give a lot of credit to Mikel [Arteta] and the coaching staff.
"The details they've given us to improve on the pitch has been immense. You can see, season by season by season, we're all progressing and improving.
"We're young and hungry. We want to achieve big things at this club - I'm loving it!"
There were calls at the end of last season for Arteta to be sacked after Arsenal missed out on a top four spot and qualification for the Champions League. However, the club stood by the Spaniard and that decision has paid off massively with the club now chasing down their first Premier League title since 2004.
Saka has been at the heart of their title charge this season with his consistent performances and brilliant output. Despite being knocked out of all cup competitions, it leaves the Gunners with just the Premier League to focus on as the pressure builds in a fierce title race with City - with the two teams still to face each other at the Etihad Stadium in April, which could decide where the title ends up this season.
