Arsenal look set to continue locking down the long-term future of their players after Gabriel Martinelli signed a new deal earlier this month. At the start of the season, nailing down the future of Martinelli, Bukayo Saka and William Saliba was a priority for the Gunners and with part one already completed, Edu and Mikel Arteta are eyeing further extensions amid their Premier League title bid.
Following in the footsteps of Martinelli, Saka has told the club that he wants to stay as the Gunners close in on securing their star player to a new contract, football.london understands. Saka, who is into the final 18 months of his current deal at the Emirates Stadium, has enjoyed a stellar 2022/23 campaign, netting nine goals and providing a further eight assists in just 24 Premier League outings so far this term.
The form of the England international has seen Arsenal become shock title challengers this season and the Hale End grad will likely remain at his boyhood club for many years to come.
