Arsenal superstar Bukayo Saka is reportedly unhappy with manager Mikel Arteta’s decision to part ways with a rising academy striker, who has been in sensational form since his departure — scoring an astonishing 20 goals in just 7 games for his new club.
According to reports circulating within club circles, Saka had urged Arteta to reconsider selling the talented forward, believing the youngster had the potential to break into Arsenal’s first team. However, despite Saka’s warnings, Arteta gave the green light for the transfer, a move that is now being questioned as the striker’s remarkable form continues to turn heads across Europe.
Speaking privately, Saka is said to have expressed regret over losing a player he admired, reportedly saying, “I told Arteta not to let him go, but he refused to listen. Now he’s scored 20 goals in 7 games, and I miss him so much.”
The identity of the striker has not been officially confirmed, but speculation suggests he was one of the highly-rated prospects from Arsenal’s youth setup, known for his sharp finishing and eye for goal during his time at the academy.
The player’s explosive start at his new club has raised questions about Arsenal’s strategy regarding young talent, especially with the Gunners looking to bolster their attacking options in the current campaign.
While Arsenal’s first team continues to compete at the highest level under Arteta, this situation may spark renewed discussions about retaining and developing homegrown talent rather than allowing them to thrive elsewhere.
As the striker’s goal tally grows, fans and pundits alike are beginning to wonder whether Arsenal may have made a costly mistake — and if Arteta will rethink his stance on young prospects in the future.
