'Enjoy the moment': Mikel Arteta tells Bukayo Saka to relish his good form as England boss Gareth Southgate gets set to watch impressive young talent

Mikel Arteta has told Bukayo Saka to 'enjoy the moment' as the young Arsenal star continues his incredible form that has caught the eye of England boss Gareth Southgate.

The 18-year-old has developed into one of the country's brightest talents and is likely to form a key part of Arteta's plans ahead of the North London Derby on Sunday.

Ahead of the weekend, only Kevin De Bruyne and Trent Alexander-Arnold had more assists in all competitions among Premier League players than Saka's 12 this season.

He has duly been rewarded with a new long-term contract while Southgate is due to assess the youngster at next weekend's FA Cup semi-final.
