"Arsenal are close to agreeing on a new contract with Bukayo Saka, according to TBR. Arsenal, who are aiming to win the Premier League and the Champions League this season, have already handed a new deal to star defender William Saliba, and now Saka is in line to get a bumper pay rise. The North London club's sporting director Andrea Berta is set to finalise a deal with Saka that will see the England international earn £300,000 per week, making him the highest-paid player."
"I am told that Berta has been happy with talks with Saka and his people, they have been progressing since he arrived and he has been happy to make him their highest earner. One of the little concerns for Saka was the club's ambition, which Berta understood but he feels their summer spending and their backing of Mikel Arteta has really shown where they are - they think they assembled a squad on par with any club in the world."
