Arsenal: 3 incredible Bukayo Saka backup options for Mikel Arteta

2. Raphinha

Stunningly, the former Arsenal target, Raphinha, has been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium again. Although, it is unlikely.

According to TEAMtalk, Mikel Arteta is keeping a keen eye on the Barcelona winger, who would provide sufficient backup to Bukayo Saka, on the chance that he will become available. It looks unlikely that Barcelona would be willing to sell him as he is important to them, however, given their efforts to balance the books in the transfer market, anything is possible.

Raphinha is a player who has been on the whiteboard for the Arsenal recruitment team for some time now. Boasting Premier League experience with Leeds United, the Brazil winger has only improved since then. In many ways, Arsenal would be getting their own (better) Richarlison.

Last season, the versatile Barcelona man bagged 7 La Liga goals and provided 7 assists for a well-rounded contribution to their title winning season.
