From the source

Arsenal tied Bukayo Saka down to a contract extension at the club earlier this summer, but the Englishman has not had much competition for his place in the team for much of his tenure with the first-team.

Noni Madueke has not been able to supply goals as consistently as Mikel Arteta would have liked, while Saka’s own form this season and fitness over the recent past mean the Gunners are still looking for a right winger to challenge him.

Graeme Bailey has reported that Chelsea forward Estevao Willian has now emerged as a target for Arsenal, who would be keen on bringing him to the Emirates Stadium next year owing to his secondary role under Xabi Alonso.
