Since his debut for Arsenal in 2018, everyone realized he was a wonderful player. And ever since then, transfer rumors have been around the 21-year-old striker. Even more, his performance at the Emirates even earned him a spot in England thanks to Gareth Southgate's trust in the player.

He even was a regular on the starting line-up at the Euro that was celebrated in 2021 (even though it was programmed in 2020, but due to Covid it was delayed to the next year). Unfortunately for him (and England) he was one of the many Lions players that couldn't score on the penalty shoot-out, neglecting for another year an international trophy for England.

Now, after almost a year since that moment, Saka was lifted up from his ashes and proved to be an important piece for Mikel Arteta's team. But if Arsenal fails to at least win a Champions League spot, we may witness another Van Persie... A promising Arsenal player leaving to win trophies. 

So far, Saka has appeared in 190 games for Arsenal, scored 46, and assisted 48 times in the almost 13000 minutes he has played for The Gunners.

Which team could be his new home?

It wouldn't be crazy to think he could be left for a Premier League team, and of course, Guardiola has already put his eye on the youngster. Could you imagine him sharing a locker room with Haaland and Co? Nevertheless, Real Madrid also has him on their wish list, mostly because Florentino Pérez (Real Madrid's president) recently has invested in promising stars rather than "Galacticos".
