Arsenal starlet Bukayo Saka is special – signing him to a new deal is a massive coup for the Gunners

DESPITE Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang yet to sort out his future and no major new signings, Arsenal may well have done their best bit of business this year already.

Bukayo Saka signing a new long-term contract at the Emirates in the week is a bigger coup for his club than it is for the player himself.

We have heard it time and time before, but this lad is going to be something special. Scrap that, he already is.

With a year remaining on his previous deal and performances to get people taking notice, plenty of big clubs would no doubt have sniffed around offering the big bucks for his signature.

But Saka, 18, wanted to stay, he loves Arsenal and if he wasn’t the one on the pitch tearing up Premier League defences, he would no doubt have been cheering on a Gunners academy graduate cutting it with the big boys.

And not just cutting it, but showing them up – Saka has been one of Arsenal’s best players this season since breaking through from the youth set-up.

His excellent finish at Wolves proved to be the winner – with Alexandre Lacazette adding a second late on – as he showed class and maturity in equal measure.

As Kieran Tierney’s cross deflected across, he read the situation to get into position then kept his head over the ball to guide a fine volley into the net with fine technique.
