Saka is back to fire Gunners forward

- 

BUKAYO SAKA can be Arsenal's deadly "weapon" to gun down opponents for the rest of the season.

Mikel Arteta has given Saka the green light to start against Fulham tonight but also believes he can have a huge impact against Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Arsenal face the Spanish giants over a two-legged quarter-final, with the Gunners boss insisting Saka is "ready to go" after his three-month injury lay-off.

Arteta said: "It's another massive weapon that we have with him. We know the impact he's had on the team and how important his role and his contribution is to our success. So great to have him back.

"Now it's about putting him on the grass in the right moments. But he's pushing because he really wants it. We have respected the time frame, we have done everything and we've even had to hold him back. So he's ready to go.
