Bukayo Saka is reportedly in the final stages of talks over a contract extension that would keep him at Arsenal until 2030, with both club and player confident of an agreement as the Premier League leaders move to lock down their homegrown star. Saka, whose current deal runs to 2027, has made clear he wants to win major trophies in north London, and Arsenal hope to have the paperwork completed before year’s end as they chase Premier League and Champions League glory under Mikel Arteta.

Sunderland led through Dan Ballard, before Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard flipped it for Arsenal. In stoppage time, a flicked long throw fell to Brian Brobbey, who contorted mid-air to score a bicycle kick and seal a dramatic point. Regis Le Bris revealed a subtle tweak to disrupt Arsenal’s restart patterns and long throws. Arsenal eventually pinned Sunderland back, but poor set-piece clearance on 90+4’ proved costly. The hosts matched intensity throughout, turning limited territory into key dead-ball moments.

Arsenal posted an eighth straight win without conceding, matching the English top-flight record set by Preston in 1889 and Liverpool in 1920. Bukayo Saka scored from the spot before Mikel Merino, deputising for Viktor Gyokeres, struck twice to seal a controlled away victory. Arteta’s side compressed space, broke lines with early diagonals, and suffocated counters. The clean-sheet streak began on October 1 versus Olympiacos and now spans West Ham, Fulham, Crystal Palace, Atletico Madrid and Burnley. They last conceded on September 28 against Newcastle and are on a 10-match winning run.

Arsenal rule out Saliba and Martinelli for Brighton cup

Arsenal’s injury list deepened as William Saliba and Gabriel Martinelli were ruled out of the Carabao Cup, adding to absences for Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, Noni Madueke and captain Martin Ødegaard. Mikel Arteta confirmed Bukayo Saka, Riccardo Calafiori and Declan Rice are available, but the leaders’ depth will be stretched during a dense run across competitions. Expect centre-back reshuffle and conservative winger usage to avoid recurrence. Arsenal should lean on rest-defence structure, short build sequences and controlled pressing to reduce transition exposure without Saliba. For Martinelli’s threat replacement, rotate vertical runners and pattern for back-post overloads. Medical: imaging, graded field re-entry, and micro-cycle load caps ahead of league duties.

Limited recent league starts and a muted outing framed the cautious call. With a four-point cushion atop the table, Arsenal prioritised player welfare amid a congested autumn schedule.

Arsenal want Saka to follow William Saliba’s renewal by committing long-term. With only two years left, the Gunners believe the 24-year-old will extend past 2027. Saka recently hit 100 Premier League goal involvements in just 200 appearances.
Arsenal’s push comes as they top the table after beating West Ham, with Saka once again central to their attack. The winger’s form and leadership underline his status as untouchable in Arteta’s project, making his renewal a priority.

Bukayo Saka returned to first-team training after a hamstring injury, raising hopes he can feature in Arsenal’s critical Premier League showdown with Manchester City at the Emirates this weekend. Captain Martin Ødegaard’s recovery, however, remains in doubt. Saka had missed three matches but impressed in early-season form before his injury. His comeback provides a timely boost as Arsenal seek momentum, while Ødegaard’s shoulder issue may leave Arteta without his playmaker. Both players’ fitness will heavily shape Arsenal’s performance.
