Saka injured his ankle during the 5-0 home win over Nottingham Forest and left the field after 27 minutes. Arteta said: “It was a bad kick and it limped, but I don’t see it being more than that. Let’s see how it goes in the next couple of days.” Meanwhile, Arsenal are considering a bid for Orlando City star Facundo Torres. Torres has impressed in MLS this season and the Gunners have been tipped off by scout Tony Lima. Lima has been credited with suggesting Neymar to Barcelona and Philippe Coutinho to Inter Milan when both were still playing in Brazil. According to The Evening Standard, the winger could be signed to provide competition for Xhaka. Since moving to the United States, the Uruguayan international has scored 14 goals and provided 10 assists in 40 league games. And Arsenal are in talks with William Saliba over a new long-term deal with fears he could leave for free next summer. Saliba’s deal is set to expire next summer, meaning he could leave the Emirates for free. The Gunners have a 12-month option, but according to The Athletic, the club want to tie the centre-back down to a new long-term deal. Should the Gunners hit a roadblock during talks, the France international will not be short of options. Reports indicate that Paris Saint-Germain are very interested in the 21-year-old, who loves living in France. Finally, Arsenal are the frontrunners to sign Leicester star Youri Tielemans, who they targeted in the summer. Manchester United and Juventus were also thought to be interested, but the Foxes managed to keep hold of Tielemans. According to the Mirror, the Gunners are favorites to seal a deal for the midfielder, whose contract expires at the end of the season. A summer move is thought to be the most likely time for the Belgium international to move to North London.
