Arsenal's star player Bukayo Saka could be on his way out if the Gunners fail to compete for major titles, according to reports.
The winger hasn't tasted victory in a significant tournament since Arsenal's FA Cup win in 2020, with the team narrowly missing out on the Premier League title in the past two seasons.
Over recent years, Saka has emerged as one of the Premier League's top attacking talents. The 23-year-old has already clocked up 243 appearances for his childhood club, scoring 64 goals and providing 59 assists.

In May 2023, Saka signed a new contract at the Emirates Stadium, which keeps him at the club until summer 2027. However, Arsenal legend Alan Smith believes that manager Mikel Arteta needs to deliver results to persuade the England international to stay.
Speaking to Mega Dice about Saka, Smith said: "It's hard to say whether I think he'll stay at Arsenal for a long time as it always depends on where the club is and if they're challenging for honours.

He added: "If they are, then a lot of top-class players will feel like there's no need to move. I think Saka is one of those players, but if there's a dip in the club's fortune - you want to be winning trophies - and I'm sure Saka falls into that category."
Smith further praised Saka, saying: "I would classify Saka as world class, but I never really know what that means. You can't overlook what he does week-in, week-out for Arsenal as well as doing ever so well for England as well.", reports the Express.
"He's a brilliant player with a great attitude to the game and is very tough to tie down when he's in form."
