In conversations with other agents & players last summer, Telegraph Sport understands, it was made clear by Arsenal’s most powerful executives that Bukayo Saka is the club’s ‘franchise player’.
The message to potential new attacking signings then, was clear - you will be behind Saka, in terms of status & in terms of salary.
As one agent told Telegraph Sport during the summer transfer window: “No new signing can ever be given a contract bigger than Saka’s.”
