Arsenal have finally tied Bukayo Saka down to a new long-term contract - but the Gunners had to make a significant compromise in order to seal a deal.
Saka, 21, has evolved into the club's most influential player during Mikel Arteta 's premiership, so resolving the versatile forward's future was a huge priority for Arsenal.
Despite rumoured interest from several of the Gunners elite domestic rivals, including Manchester City, Saka put pen-to-paper on a bumper four-year deal earlier this month. However, it has emerged that the Gunners were initially hoping to tie Saka down for a longer period of time before they were forced to change tact during negotiations.
