The Highbury Hero said (via HITC):“Delighted for him. It’s a credit to him and the work he has put in. He has been there for a long time. People saying he should have left by now or gone on loan. But he stayed. Mikel’s given everyone an opportunity if you are impressing and working hard, then you will get a chance and he has done that.“He’s been re-paid for his hard work and I am pleased for him because he’s Arsenal through and through. Desperate to play for Arsenal. Desperate to get himself into the first team. This is a big step towards that.”The academy graduate has thus far featured in 52 games for the Gunners’ senior team in all competitions, scoring six times and claiming five assists.Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta provides Bukayo Saka injury updateGiven how brilliant he has been this season, Bukayo Saka’s injury against Nottingham Forest is bound to make both England and Arsenal fans nervous.
