Bukayo Saka might have just hinted who Arsenal will buy next after Viktor Gyokeres

Arsenal have already made two important signings which should help Bukayo Saka improve next term.

Firstly, Mikel Arteta now finally has adequate backup for Bukayo Saka at Arsenal after recruiting Noni Madueke from Chelsea.

Madueke will be ready to start on the right wing whenever Saka needs a rest — something he wasn’t often afforded before his serious hamstring injury last term.

Of course, Viktor Gyokeres’ arrival at Arsenal might also be very good news for Saka, the kind of striker who will enable the England winger to pick up even more assists.

Saka often puts brilliant deliveries into the box for Arsenal, only for a defender to make first contact ahead of Kai Havertz, who isn’t a typical in-the-box poacher.

But with Gyokeres around, Saka might have more joy in that regard.

That being said, Saka might also be buoyed by the England international who Arsenal are targeting next.

TBR Football recently shared that Eberechi Eze wants to join Arsenal and the Gunners have held talks with Crystal Palace about a deal.

Arteta is still on the hunt for a left winger to come in and ignite his attack before the start of next season, and Eberechi Eze’s talent has been clear for all to see in south London.

And whilst Arsenal have reservations about Eze solely playing as a left winger, he’s still a player who sporting director Andrea Berta will look to bring to N5.

That considered, Saka might have just made a playful hint towards Arsenal’s interest on his Instagram story.

At a New Balance event, Saka uploaded a picture with a lot of branded football gear alongside a photo of Eze, which has certainly piqued the interest of Arsenal fans.

Eze also wears New Balance boots, explaining why his picture was on the table alongside shirts and footballs.

And perhaps Saka was hinting at his excitement to potentially play alongside Eze next season.

Saka’s record playing with Eze for England

Just like Saka, Eze was an academy player at Arsenal, and perhaps that is part of the reason why he wants to return to north London.

And although the pair are yet to play with each other at club level, they have done so seven times for England.

In those seven matches, England have won five times, including two wins at the 2024 Euros.

And whilst Eze would predominantly come in to play on the left wing as mentioned, he would surely also get opportunities as a number 10, playing in close proximity to Saka.

Moreover, with England heading to the World Cup next summer, national team boss Thomas Tuchel might actually be quite keen to see Eze head to Arsenal himself, enabling him to enhance his connection with Saka, and the likes of Declan Rice.

A superb talent, and it’s obvious why Arsenal want to sign Eze, even if his release clause at Palace has now expired.
