Bukayo Saka is arguably Arsenal’s best player.
The Englishman has been the most important part of the club’s rebuild under Mikel Arteta, and he has become one of the best attackers in the country.
Saka is among the first names on the team sheet every week, and he almost always delivers for Arsenal. He has been consistently brilliant for England too and is a regular there as well.
Arsenal fans are really proud to see how important a player Saka has become for club and country, but there is one big concern for all of us as well as Arteta.
Mikel Arteta’s big concern about Arsenal star Bukayo Saka
Arteta has got a lot of things right over the years.
The Spaniard is the biggest reason why Arsenal are one of the best clubs in the world and are challenging for the Premier League title.
However, if there is one criticism about the Gunners boss, it’s the fact that Arteta never really gives Saka a break. He’s a starter almost every single week.
Arteta has previously argued that great players should be prepared to play over 50 games a season, and we understand that argument.
However, the intensity of the game today is much higher than it was a few years ago, and with that, there is an increased risk of injuries.
The last thing Arsenal need is for Saka to be injured, and The Independent have now claimed that Arteta is ‘concerned’ about that too.
It has been revealed that “Arsenal are highly conscious of overusing” the Englishman this season, which is why they have found a solution.

Raheem Sterling’s arrival will help Saka become even better
Arsenal officially announced the signing of Raheem Sterling late on deadline day.
Edu Gaspar has pulled off a remarkable deal to land the Englishman. Arsenal have signed Sterling on zero loan fees and just £100,000-a-week wages.
The former Manchester City man will give a number of options for Arteta in attack, but we think his main role will be to provide cover for Saka on the right.
Sterling won’t just be a backup either. He has a point to prove, and we expect him to give his all, which won’t just benefit him but also push Saka to another level.
That is great news for Arsenal, and if this works out as well as we think it will, there’s every chance the Gunners will go all the way in the title race.
