Arsenal plan to step up contract talks in the next few weeks with their star trio of youngsters.
Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and William Saliba have all said publicly they are happy and want to stay and negotiations are ongoing. But Gunners technical director Edu and boss Mikel Arteta also want to reward their players for their impressive start to the season and underline their ambition for the future.
England star Saka, 21, has been involved in talks with the club and his representatives for weeks and they are hopeful of agreeing a new long term deal. Saka has become one of England’s most sought after young players and will therefore also be able to command a significant rise towards being one of the club’s better earners.
