Arsenal know that they must start turning draws into victories in the Premier League as Bournemouth visit North London.

Manchester City have moved to within three points of Arsenal in the Premier League table and Mikel Arteta’s side will want to secure second place with three points at the Emirates Stadium.

Bournemouth possess Arsenal transfer targets and have been having an excellent season under Andoni Iraola.

Riccardo Calafiori and Jorginho are still injured but it is expected that Arteta will name a strong side for the clash, Bukayo Saka could be involved once again and has been sharing his footballing ‘dream’.

Bukayo Saka reveals Ballon d’Or ‘dream’

Gabriel Martinelli ‘loves’ Saka and that is the overwhelming opinion of not just people associated with Arsenal but from around the footballing world.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Saka has revealed that one day he dreams of winning the Ballon d’Or, a prestigious trophy crowning the best footballer on the planet each year.

Saka stated: “I don’t really like to have myself in these sorts of conversations you know everyone has their own opinion, people put me up there, people put me down there, it’s not really in my interest to argue with them, I just play my game.

“It’s a dream [winning the Ballon d’Or] and I think it’s a dream for a lot of players.”

Despite those aspirations, Saka was clear on the one thing that he currently has on his mind in terms of his career – winning football matches and trophies for the Gunners.

Saka explained: “The only thing I can focus on right now is winning here [Arsenal], that’s my main focus you know, everything else will come after that.”

Bukayo Saka is already among world’s best players

Owen Hargreaves thinks Real Madrid want Saka after his stunning displays against them in the Champions League quarter-final.

Saka is rarely spoken about in that ‘world-class’ bracket alongside the likes of Vinicius Jr and Mohamed Salah but in reality, the Gunners winger is more than matching them on biggest of stages.

At just 23 years of age, the numbers are already staggering for his career and this season, despite spending over three months out with a hamstring injury, he ranks among the very best for goals and assists.

Arsenal know they have a gem on their hands and a player very much capable of winning multiple Ballon d’Or awards, they just have to carefully manage his workload.
