Signs of unity as key Gunners endorse Saka’s rallying cry despite another trophyless season!
After another emotionally charged finish to the season, Bukayo Saka broke his silence with a powerful Instagram message on May 26, pledging that “our time will come” and reaffirming his belief in Arsenal’s long-term mission under Mikel Arteta.
Despite falling short in the Champions League semi-finals against PSG and missing out on domestic silverware, Saka’s performances—12 goals and 13 assists in 37 matches—remained a beacon of hope. His comments came a day after Arsenal’s 2-1 win over Southampton, where he watched from the bench as Odegaard sealed a late winner.
The Response:
Two key figures instantly liked the post:
Declan Rice, the midfield titan who’s been central to Arsenal’s revival.
Riccardo Calafiori, the versatile defender linked with a move away, whose engagement has sparked fresh speculation about his future and loyalty.
Their reactions were seen as a subtle but clear endorsement of Saka’s vision—offering fans a sense of continuity, belief, and leadership heading into a critical summer.
What’s Next for Arsenal?
Viktor Gyokeres remains top of the wishlist, as Arteta seeks a lethal No.9.
Jorginho, Sterling, and Martinelli could be moved on to make space and funds.
Thomas Partey is nearing a renewal, a sign the core is staying intact.
Sporting director Andrea Berta has been recruited to overhaul transfer strategy and give Arteta elite-level recruitment support.
With squad transformation underway and Saka, Rice, and Calafiori on board emotionally, the Gunners now face their most decisive summer in two decades.
Will this pledge be the spark that ignites a title-winning fut
ure? Or just more empty hope?
