Arsenal attacker, Bukayo Saka, has disclosed that the Premier League leaders have had meetings with the league’s refereeing body, PGMOL, to discuss his rough treatment by players from other clubs.
The England international, who is an Arsenal academy graduate is enjoying a fine season with the Gunners at the top of the English League, scoring 10 times and providing nine assists in just 27 league matches.
However, he has often finished games looking beaten up and bruised, as many opposition players have taken a rather aggressive approach to try and stop him.

Saka has been fouled a total of 45 times in the Premier League this season, but the rough treatments which mostly led to free-kicks have only drawn four yellow cards.
Discussing what he has been enduring as a winger, Saka told The Evening Standard that he is no longer complaining about the rough tackles.
He said: “I can’t come out here and start complaining that I’m getting fouled. It doesn’t make sense, I’m not going to get anywhere with it.
“Arsenal have had the meetings they need to have with the referees and stuff like that. I feel like we just need to take it from there and see where that gets us,”
