Chelsea could reportedly deal a major blow to rivals Arsenal in the transfer market next summer.

The Blues are expected to make their move for on-loan Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez permanent for around £30million, which would then give Atletico the added funds to pursue a move for Gunners winger Bukayo Saka.

Reports in Spain now suggest Chelsea’s deal for Saul could be key in determining Saka’s future in the coming months, which will no doubt be a big worry for Gooners.
