Bukayo Saka admits Arsenal's title collapse 'hurts a lot' but insists fans should be 'excited for the future' after committing his future to the Gunners until 2027

Bukayo Saka has admitted the collapse of Arsenal's title challenge 'hurts a lot' but the star insists the squad has time on its side in its pursuit of major honours.

The Gunners had led the title race heading into the run-in, but a dip in form allowed Manchester City to storm past in the final weeks of the campaign.

Mikel Arteta's side held an eight-point lead in March but they were overtaken by eventual winners City.

City were crowned champions for the fifth time in six seasons on Sunday, following Arsenal's 1-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest the previous day.
