Arsenal target admits he is likely to leave in the summer
Arsenal’s youthful core
Arsenal are building around a youthful core at the Emirates Stadium this time around.
Gone are the Willian, Sokratis and David Luiz-esque signings, with quick fixes having been binned for a more sincere approach at reaching Champions League football.
And it is working, with the young side currently 4th in the Premier League, and Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe both excelling, while Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard were both nominated for Premier League player of the month.

However, there is still work to do, not least in the frontline.
Time to add a winger?
Arsenal do have options in their forward line, but should they end up playing more than once a week again, they may need more.
At present, Nicolas Pepe and Emile Smith Rowe are the only alternatives to the three that usually operate behind the striker, and Pepe’s Arsenal future remains unclear.
And while there are plenty of talents in the academy, including the prodigious Omari Hutchinson, the Gunners have been linked with a variety of other options.

One of those is exciting Club Brugge winger Noa Lang, who has been dubbed the new Neymar.
And now, they have been dealt a boost in their pursuit of the winger, with the Brazilian revealing that he is almost certain to leave Brugges this summer. At an awards evening, Lang claimed:
“I’m going to be very honest. Chances are I’ll be leaving next summer . “
Will the Emirates Stadium prove to be his destination?
