“I advised Arteta not to sell him, but he didn’t listen, and now he’s scored 20 goals in just 7 games since leaving… I really miss him”: Arsenal star Bukayo Saka expresses his frustration with Arteta for letting go of an academy striker who has netted 20 goals in just 7 matches.

Bukayo Saka Regrets Arsenal’s Decision to Sell Prolific Academy Striker

Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has expressed his disappointment over the club’s decision to sell a former academy striker who has been in sensational form since leaving the Gunners.

The young forward, whose identity remains undisclosed, has netted an astonishing 20 goals in just seven matches, leaving many Arsenal fans and players questioning Mikel Arteta’s decision to let him go.

Saka, one of Arsenal’s most influential players, reportedly advised Arteta against selling the prolific goal scorer, but his plea fell on deaf ears. Now, as the former Arsenal talent continues to light up his new club with goal after goal, Saka has openly admitted that he misses him and wishes the club had kept faith in his abilities.

The news has sparked a wave of reactions among Arsenal supporters, who have long criticized the club for letting go of young talents too soon. Over the years, the Gunners have seen promising academy graduates leave, only to flourish elsewhere. This latest case only adds to the list of regrets for the North London club.

Despite Arsenal enjoying a strong season under Arteta, their attack has struggled at times, particularly in terms of finishing chances. Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah have had inconsistent goal returns, while summer signing Kai Havertz is still adapting to his role. Had the club retained the in-form striker, he might have provided the goal-scoring edge they currently lack.

Many fans have now taken to social media to express their frustration, questioning why Arsenal sold a striker with such immense potential. Some have drawn comparisons to past mistakes, such as allowing Serge Gnabry to leave before he became a star at Bayern Munich.

While Arteta has built a formidable team, his transfer decisions have not always been perfect. If the former Arsenal academy striker continues his incredible goal-scoring spree, the criticism may only grow louder.

For now, Saka and the Arsenal faithful can only watch and wonder what could have been.
