Qwiss Tbh Dembele has been having a pretty great period of form and fitness last time I took a look at him.

    @Big Willie Last season he had the most assists in La Liga despite playing about half the minutes of the other players from the top 5.

    Rashford and Vini doesn't even play on the right.

    As RW goes in the world Saka is the best.

    For LW there competition is massive though.

    Brilliant news! What a player ❤️ I hope he gets better and better. On his way to becoming the next Mr Arsenal 😍

    Release clause of 200 mili please. Congrats to him and his family. Incredible start to this his career and can't wait to seem him get better and better.

      KingslandBarge nah, that's not enough. No release clause needed. If we're to have one it needs to be high enough that there is no price we'd be forced to sell against our will.

        Do we have release clauses over here?

        Delighted to see my Greenford bro' has agreed his deal, I don't think it was ever in any doubt but it's a strong signal that the good times are coming back to N5.

        Like I've said many times before, having no release clause is the same of having a release clause for £ ∞.

        Wanting a release clause when there usually isn't one is irrational. It can only be an advantage for the buying club.

        Amazing news if true but what does "agreed but may take some time to complete" mean? Something (the wage) isn't actually agreed yet?

          invisibleman18 I'd say it probably means all that stuff's agreed and it's assumed that it'll be signed, but it's a long, complex contract that's being carefully vetted by lots of lawyers, who will want to look at the detail of how each agreed provision has been set up.

              Hope he's practicing that di Maria curler. Well capable.

              Burnwinter yeah that's my interpretation too. Basically lawyers on both sides want to take ages to pull it apart and go backwards and forwards so they can make a bunch more money for themselves.

                I'm probably missing someone, but ... when was the last time Arsenal had a couple of players of Saka and Martinelli's calibre, both already playing at a very high level and only just entering their prime, sign long term contracts?

                No offence to the "British core", but these kids are on a new level.

                To me, Saka has the stature of Cesc when he was engineering his move to Barcelona. He's conservatively worth £80m or so. Any club in Europe would want him. But unlike Cesc, Saka's Hale End: all Arsenal DNA. Saka's mentality and quality are in the very top echelon. It's a landmark if he commits to Arsenal.

                I don't necessarily think they're on a different level than Wilshere/Ramsey. Sure, it didn't work out, but they were incredible before it all turned sideways.

                I feel they are next level—not in terms of raw talent, but the rest. And that's what's encouraging.

                Compare Saka to Wilshere: the question's not so much whether Saka will play for England or be fit, it's whether he'll win the match for England. That could change, but in terms of consistency, tactical nous, and fitness Saka seems far ahead. It's what makes him signing this (🤞) so exciting.

                Seems to me this generation is also getting a better tactical and technical education, and better support with their physical and psychological development. In effect we're reaping the benefit of the club's good work in this area starting more than a decade ago.

                  Fantastic news. Best winger in the world.
