"Arsenal have agreed the framework of a new long-term contract with Bukayo Saka, sources have told ESPN. Both parties have been confident for several months that the 24-year-old would commit his future to the club and sources have indicated those negotiations are nearing a positive conclusion. An agreement is yet to be finalised and Arsenal declined to comment when contacted by ESPN."
"I would love that [if he signed a new deal]. From everything that I know, again he's a player that is extremely happy and proud to be [here] and to have the role that he has in the football club. He's been developing in a natural way like they always do. Everyone knows how important Bukayo is for us so hopefully we can do it."
Arsenal have agreed the framework of a new long-term contract with Bukayo Saka and negotiations are nearing a positive conclusion. The 24-year-old is expected to sign a five-year deal that would make him one of the club's highest earners. Kai Havertz currently earns £280,000 per week. The club rewarded William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhães, Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly with improved terms last year. Saka progressed through the Hale End academy, has captained the side on multiple occasions and has seven goals and six assists in 27 appearances this season. Arsenal are expected to target Declan Rice next.
