Mikel Arteta has given the winger 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 first leg a week today, and Arteta insists Saka is "ready to go" after his three-month lay-off with a hamstring injury.

Gunners manager Arteta, above, said: "It's another massive weapon that we have with him.

"We know the impact that he's had on the team and how important his role and his contribution is to our success. So it's great to have him back.
