"We want to keep our best talent," Arteta told reporters last week. "Especially the players that deserve some recognition. I think he has been incredible since he came back from his loan period and we want to reward him, that is for sure. We will find the right moment to do that.
Obviously Edu and the board are on top of every negotiation regarding new contracts and now we are doing everything we possibly can to do that in the right moment at the right time," he said. "The communication and the relationship is super. It is about timing, I think. Nothing else."
Now, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has claimed the announcement of the new contract will come in the next few weeks, with Saka set to extend his stay with Arsenal until 2028.
