Bukayo Saka is confident of signing a new contract at Arsenal, with the England star in talks over a new deal at the Emirates Stadium. Saka's current deal expires in 2024 and the Gunners are keen to tie him down to a longer, more lucrative contract.
Both the club and the player are confident a deal can be struck and recent economic developments mean Saka could be in line for a bigger pay day than he might have initially expected. In the wake of the 'mini-budget' announced by new Chancellor of the Exchequer Kwasi Kwarteng on Friday, footballers could hugely benefit financially.
The new budget has been subject to criticism, with the Bank of England staging an intervention on Wednesday amid further condemnation by the International Monetary Fund of the action taken by the new Conservative government, which is led by Prime Minister Liz Truss.
