Arsenal have made an ideal start to their Premier League campaign so far, sitting top of the league after eight games played and only falling to defeat once. Mikel Arteta's young squad have stood up to the tests thrown at them, playing front foot and attacking football while doing so.
It has led to many believing they will be in the title picture as the season progresses, with plenty of their star names continuing to progress at the early stage of their careers. A trio of William Saliba, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli are amongst that, with the former showing confidence in his ability in his debut Premier League season, while the latter two have continued to improve on their attacking involvements.
There have been concerns for the long-term future of all three at the club, due to their importance, having only two-years noted as their time remaining on their current contracts. However, football.london understands Arsenal have a club option of an extra year on Saliba and Saka and an extra two-years on the contract of Martinelli.
