I want to win wearing Arsenal’s badge – Saka

Arsenal Super Star Bukayo Saka, said he was in “no rush” to sign a new contract as he set his sights on staying at Arsenal for the long term after coming through the club’s youth ranks.

Bukayo Saka said he was in “no rush” to sign a new contract but admitted it was “pretty clear” that he wants to commit to his future at Arsenal, as he spoke on the eve of the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final tie against Real Madrid.

Saka, who has scored 10 goals in all competitions for Arsenal this season, injured a hamstring in the Gunners’ 5-1 win at Crystal Palace on December 21, is set to make his first start in over four months at the Emirates on Tuesday.

The England forward made a goalscoring return to action in Arsenal’s 2-1 win against Fulham last week before coming on as a substitute again in Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Everton after undergoing surgery and recovering from the blow.

He was given a hero’s welcome when he ended his long absence as a second-half substitute against Fulham last week. And with two years remaining on his current deal, Saka set his sights on staying at Arsenal for the long term after coming through the club’s youth ranks.

“For me, I want to win and I want to win wearing this badge,” said Saka. “It is pretty clear the fans know how much I love them. And you saw when I came on (against Fulham) that I think they love me back. “So it is a good relationship and I am really happy to be here.”
