Arsenal are certainly one of the best teams in the world today.

Mikel Arteta took over a very average squad back in 2019, but he has turned Arsenal into a powerhouse that’s capable of beating any side in the world.

Many Arsenal players are truly world-class, and the good work Edu Gaspar has done with their contracts has made them incredibly valuable.

Arsenal should never even think of selling a few of them, but if it ever came to a transfer, the Gunners would almost definitely make a monumental profit.

Arsenal star Bukayo Saka’s current transfer value

Bukayo Saka is arguably Arsenal’s best player.

The Hale End star has been integral in the Gunners’ rebuild under Arteta, and he has gotten better and better every single season.

Saka is absolutely world-class and he is good enough to play for any club in the world. If he is ever made available for a transfer, we’re sure the biggest sides on the planet will line up to sign him.

We hope it never comes to that, but if it does, Arsenal stand to make an absolute fortune.

According to CIES Football Observatory, Saka’s current transfer value lies in between €137 million and €174 million (£115.5m-£146.7m).

That makes him the third most valuable player in the world behind Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland.

Saka ranks higher than incredible players like Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala, Chelsea’s Cole Palmer and even Barcelona and Spain wonderkid Lamine Yamal, who is valued between €132 million and €167 million (£111.3m-£140.8m).

World-class Saka could break his personal record this season

One of the most impressive things about Saka is how he has consistently improved season after season throughout his career so far.

Over the last three campaigns, Saka’s goals and assists tally have gone up from 19 to 26 and finally to 34 in the 2023/24 season.

Those are incredible numbers for a wide player, but we fully expect Saka to break his own personal record in the coming months.

We don’t want to put any pressure on Arsenal’s starboy, but we feel Saka will directly contribute to over 40 goals in all competitions this season.

That would be a tremendous achievement!
