Bukayo Saka struggled with an injury in 2024-25 season
Saka played an influential role in the just ended season in which Arsenal finished second in the Premier League.
Despite being sidelined for several months due to a hamstring injury, the skillful player scored some crucial goals for the Gunners particularly in UEFA Champions League.
The Hale End Academy graduate found the net in the quarterfinal against Spanish heavyweights Real Madrid to ensure the club progress to the semifinal.
However, despite scoring a late goal in the second-leg tie against PSG at the Parc des Princes, Saka could not guide his beloved club to the eagerly awaited final that is planned to take place on Saturday, May 31.
PSG hammered Arsenal 3-1 in that entertaining match to proceed to the final round where they will lock horns with Inter Milan.
Apart from delivering epic performances in the Champions League, Saka was also a thorn in the flesh of most Premier League defenders, causing them troubles every week.
Bukayo Saka likely to work with a new striker at Arsenal next season
His promise to Arsenal fans comes at a time when the North London based club is working tirelessly to sign a proven striker.
The Gunners have had a good squad in the past two seasons but the luck of a clinical goal poacher has made them fail to lift a trophy.
Although the likes of Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus and maker shift forward Mikel Merino scored a couple of goals last season, Arteta has been advised to bring in an effective striker to help the club reach new heights.
Some of the attackers that Arteta reportedly wants to sign include Red Bull Salzburg Benjamin Šeško and Sporting CP goal machine Viktor Gyokeres. Arsenal have also been linked with the likes of Newcastle’s Alexander Isak.
Should Arsenal capture the signature of a good striker and manage to keep the likes of Saka fit next season, they will be expected to challenge for top trophies once again.
