  "account": "Bukayo Saka's strong debut-season performance has prompted fans to believe the Gunners might contest for the Premier League title. The 24-year-old missed the majority of last season due to an Achilles injury suffered in March. Consequently, he only played seven games for Arsenal and was absent for England's World Cup campaign. Saka returned to action and helped the team clinch the Premier League title for the first time in 22 years. He was subsequently substituted during the Champions League final, where Arsenal lost to Paris-St Germain. England manager Thomas Tuchel had limited his minutes during the World Cup, but after a brief rest, Saka has returned to his best form. He showcased his skill against Coventry, scoring the second goal in a 3-0 victory. Saka's return to form is attributed to his improved fitness after a break and being motivated by England's disappointing World Cup performance. His partnership with Kai Havertz, Martin Odegaard, and Ben White has proven crucial to Arsenal's fluid attack.",
  "summary": "Bukayo Saka has struggled to produce his best on a consistent basis in recent months, but could be getting back to top form this season.",
