Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed Gabriel Magalhães will be sidelined “for weeks” after picking up an injury during the November international break.

Mikel Arteta is confident that Bukayo Saka will sign a new contract to extend his stay at Arsenal and backed him to “leave a legacy” at his boyhood club.

Cristhian Mosquera has impressed in limited minutes since arriving at Arsenal from Valencia, and Calafiori's injury further challenges the club's center back depth. Ben White is also an option, though Arteta has not often called his number this year.

Mikel Arteta has responded to Wayne Rooney’s praise of Arsenal striker Viktor Gyökeres, saying it’s refreshing to see the new signing judged on his overall contribution to the team rather than just the numbers of goals he’s scored.

Mikel Arteta says he has "confidence" Bukayo Saka will sign a new contract at Arsenal and believes the winger is going to leave a "legacy" at the club. The 24-year-old has become one of Arteta's go-to players and scored 76 goals and registered 71 assists in 277 appearances.

Mikel Arteta says he is confident Bukayo Saka will sign a new Arsenal contract, praising the winger's strong connection with the club. He highlighted Saka's growing influence, leadership role and potential long-term legacy as talks continue positively.
