Arsenal need to sign a player to cover for Bukayo Saka, says former Gunner Lauren.
Saka is a key part of Mikel Arteta's attack and he is also a fixture for England, with the 22-year-old a regular starter for both club and country.
Lauren, who was part of Arsenal's famed "Invincibles" team from 20 years ago, believes the demands on Saka require the club to find a backup for him amid numerous competitions in the season ahead.
"It would be good to have another player there (for Saka)," Lauren told MyBettingSites.co.uk. "The competitiveness is great but it's also about giving him some rest."
"You play for the national team, you play in the league, you play in the Champions League, you play FA Cup, you play so many competitions this year. So you need maybe another player so that Saka can have some rest.
"You have players in the squad who can play on the right in place of Saka. It's more about how Arteta will design the whole season in order to give the right games so as to get the best out of Saka and also give him rest."
