Arsenal are working on a new long-term deal with winger Bukayo Saka. As reported by BBC News, the club's decision is not to save its recruit in the team for the difficult period and develop him as one of the highest paid football players in the warehouse.

The official contract of the 24-year-old Englishman is valid until the summer of 2027, but Arsenal wants to consolidate the partnership with Gravec Yakomoga before, ensuring his key role in Mikel Arteta's team.

This season Saka played 10 matches, scored 3 goals and lost one of the team's main leaders.

In addition, Arsenal have already started negotiations with central manager Jurrien Timber to extend his contract. The club also plans to reconsider their plans to agree with retired player Declan Rice, despite the fact that his contract is still in place for two years.
