Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Liverpool player, Steve McManaman has said that Arsenal\u2019s Bukayo Saka could fit in Manchester City\u2019s squad should he eventually join the Premier League champions in the near future.<\/p>\n

McManaman also said that he does not think Saka will move to Man City, adding that he would be surprised if Pep Guardiola\u2019s side ended up signing the 20-year-old.<\/p>\n

Saka has been linked with a transfer move to Manchester City in the past.<\/p>\n

The England star\u2019s current contract at the Emirates is set to expire in 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know if Manchester City will be able to sign Bukayo Saka,\u201d McManaman told horseracing.net.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe relationship between the two clubs seems strong due to the fact that Manchester City let Arsenal sign Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is a young and very talented English player. I would be very surprised if they could get him, to be honest.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is an excellent player and he\u2019s got experience in the Premier League, so he could probably fit in their team right away.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Manchester City lose Bernando Silva next summer, then that would be a big blow, but I think Pep Guardiola would let him go if he really wanted to leave because of his services for the club.\u201d<\/p>\n
