Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has thanked manager Mikel Arteta as the forward closes in on a new contract with the club.
Standard Sport understands Saka is set to commit his long-term future to the Gunners with a deal worth at least £200,000 a week plus bonuses. Manchester City had been showing interest but Saka, who has been with Arsenal since the age of seven, had no desire to leave.
