Arsenal have been told to offer fresh terms to Gabriel Martinelli and Wiliam Saliba once they have agreed on a new deal for England international Bukayo Saka.
Both Mikel Arteta and Saka are keen to extend the player’s contract this season following the closure of the summer transfer window, with a deal to tie him down at the Emirates expected to be completed in the near future. Saka has emerged as an integral player for the Gunners since breaking into the first team as a 17-year-old, and Arteta believes he will be crucial to the club's hopes of success in the coming years.
Now former Gunners defender Mikael Silvestre has encouraged Arsenal to also secure the long term futures of two more young stars, in the shape of Brazil international Martinelli and French star Saliba - back at the club this term after a hugely impressive loan stint at Marseille last term.
