  • RED ALERT

    League leaders Liverpool have their sights set on two rising stars from Arsenal, Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka, according to Football Insider.

    Martinelli, since signing for £6million from Brazilian club Ituano, has bagged goals against Chelsea and West Ham to name two. Martinelli has scored 10 goals in 23 games for Arsenal so far this season in all competitions.

    Saka has come up through Arsenal's youth system in order to establish himself in the first team.

    Although he likes to play as a winger, he is suited well to playing at left back as well, which is what he's been doing in seven of Arsenal's last nine games.

  • THINGS LOOKING UP

    Arsenal target Dayot Upamecano has hinted that he will leave RB Leipzig at the end of the season.

    The Gunners have been chasing the highly-rated 21-year-old since last summer and it appears likely that he will be departing the German title-chasers.

    He said: “There are several clubs that want me.

    “I will speak with my agents and my parents at the end of the season and we will make the right decision.”

  • FIVE BUKS

    Bukayo Saka has been playing well at left back as of late, due to first choice Keiran Tierney being injured, however he has revealed he would rather play as a winger.

    Speaking to Football London, Saka stated: “I feel like my dream was always to be a winger.”

    However he does admit that his full back training has helped him understand more about the position, which he can surely use to his advantage when he gets a chance to play further up the field.

  • 'NEXT AUBA'

    Folarin Balogun, 18, was highlighted in Arsenal's Under-23 game against Chelsea as someone who could step up to the first team soon.

    Although Arsenal lost the game 2-1 to Chelsea yesterday, Balogun did open the scoring after 16 minutes of action.

    Some fans took to twitter to express their delight with the youngster, one calling him 'the next Aubameyang', another saying that he should 'be given a chance ahead of Nkeitah'.
