Mikel Arteta has revealed Arsenal's plan to tie down the club's 'biggest talents' to long-term deals now that Gabriel Martinelli has extended his stay. The 21-year-old winger has penned a four-and-a-half-year contract with the Gunners, which keeps him at the club until 2027.
Last month he entered the final 18 months of his tenure at the Emirates Stadium, thus attracting the interest of numerous top-flight Premier League sides. Keen to secure Martinelli's future, Arsenal have included the option to extend his stay by a further year.
Now that the Brazil international is set to stay at London Colney until 2027, and 2028 at the latest, all eyes are now on Bukayo Saka and William Saliba. The duo are set to leave Arsenal at the end of next season once their contracts expire.
