This week it was revealed that the England star had signed a new contract, making him the highest paid Arsenal player by some distance. 

The 24-year-old was substituted off after an injury concern against Wolves in which his side succumbed to a 2-2 draw despite having a two goal lead. 

Saka limped off with what appeared to be an issue with his knee. However, The Evening Standard report that there was positive news after the game regarding his availability for the Tottenham clash this weekend. 

The winger should be okay to start against Spurs as Arsenal seek to extend their lead at the top of the table once again and avoid Manchester City catching up. 

Speaking after the game, Saka was put on post match duties as he admitted the team’s performance was not good enough. 

"Disappointed. Not much else to say. There was a big difference in how we played in the first half and the second half. We dropped our standards and we got punished for it. 

"Time to focus on ourselves, improve our standards and improve our performances and it is in our control."
