Former Tottenham and England goalkeeper Paul Robinson has commented on the rumours linking Bukayo Saka with a move away from the Emirates, presumably to Liverpool.
"A top player. I have seen him a few times and Arsenal will do all that they can to renew his contract," the retired shot-stopper told Football Insider.
"Liverpool are trying to muscle in there and take him because he is 18 and has already made 29 appearances this season. He is very good going forward.
"However, with Arteta at Arsenal, I think it could be more beneficial for the player to stay there.
"I doubt that he would get the same opportunities at Liverpool as an 18-year-old. For his development, it is worth staying at Arsenal for a while longer under a manager that is keen to promote youth."
As of now, Saka, 18, receives £3,000 per week at Arsenal and his contract expires in 2021. The Gunners tried to extend his deal but all negotiations are currently on hold due to the pandemic.
Saka is the Gunners' leading assist provider with 10. He has also scored three goals this season.
The teenager has been linked with Liverpool but neither he nor the Reds have confirmed or denied the rumours.
