Manchester City reportedly face a battle with Liverpool to land Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka this summer.
The England international has become a key player at the Emirates since working his way up from the academy, and has attracted attention from some of Europe’s big clubs with his performances.
According to ESPN, both City and Liverpool are watching the 20-year-old, and could look to pounce should Arsenal fail to qualify for the Champions League.
The Gunners are facing a fight to try and finish in the top four this season, with Manchester United, Tottenham and West Ham also in the hunt for the last Champions League spot.

Having failed to qualify for Europe at all last season, reaching the top table could prove vital to their chances of keeping hold of some of their star players this summer.
And with Saka’s contract expiring in 2023, the forward is seen as one of the players who could potentially leave in order to take a step up.
Elsewhere, City have reportedly been offered the chance to discuss terms with Paulo Dybala as the Juventus star eyes up a move in the summer.
The Argentine sees his contract in Turin expire at the end of the current season, and attempts by the Italian giants to tie him down to another deal have proven fruitless so far.
Dybala, therefore, looks likely to be on the move, and he is already free to speak to other clubs about a pre-contract agreement.
