00:00Arsenal have been warned that Real Madrid could target Bukayo Saka in a potential £130m move.
00:08The Gunners' academy graduate has become one of the Premier League's top wingers in recent seasons, consistently reaching double figures for goals.
00:17Despite missing parts of the current season due to injury, Saka still boasts 11 goals to his name and has returned to form with a recent strike in Arsenal's Champions League victory over Real Madrid.
00:30Former England and Manchester United player Owen Hargreaves recently claimed that Madrid might be keeping a close eye on Saka.
00:38Hargreaves has praised Saka's instinct in his goal against Real Madrid, adding Arsenal won't want to hear this but Real Madrid will be looking at him.
00:47He further speculated that the Spanish giants could be prepared to pay around £130m for the 23-year-old.
00:54Although Saka still has two years left on his Arsenal contract, it would take a significant offer for the club to be lured towards selling him.
01:03I don't think anyone's really in a rush. I think I've got two years left on my contract so it's pretty relaxed.
01:09Everyone knows my thoughts and I've let you guys know as well so I don't think there's any rush really.
01:15Just looking at our home record in the Champions League itself, I don't think we've lost a game in the last two seasons there so I'm sure they know that and they need to be ready because we're pretty good at the Emirates.
01:25Reports from Spain suggest Real Madrid are already considering a move for Saka, with the club potentially offering up to £100m.
01:35The situation could be complicated by Saka's recent clash with Dani Carvajal during Arsenal's win in Spain, where the two players exchanged angry words at half-time.
01:45Madrid are reportedly concerned about the futures of Vinicius Jr. and Rodrigo, both of whom has received interest from other clubs.
01:54Should Iva leave, Real Madrid would reportedly make a move for Bukayo Saka.
01:59The club's executives, including President Florentino Perez, have been impressed by Saka's performances, particularly against their star-studded team in the Champions League,
02:09and are prepared to act swiftly if a sale happens.
