Arsenal are close to completing three major contracts for squad members.
The Gunners are already planning for next season, with new midfielders being targeted – but manager Mikel Arteta and sporting director Edu Gaspar are both reportedly keen to tie key stars down for even longer. Arsenal's wage bill has been drastically reduced in recent seasons with the likes of Mesut Ozil, Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang all leaving, leaving a void of earners raking in upwards of £200,000 a week.
