Arsenal are hopeful that a deal with Bukayo Saka will be completed after months of negotiations, with him expected to sign a deal worth more than £300,000 per week – but no talks have yet begun on extending Mikel Arteta’s contract.
Negotiations with Saka’s representatives have been ongoing for some time, and it is known that all parties are optimistic in a favorable outcome. With his new contract, the winger will become the highest-paid player at the Emirates.

The club believes that this accurately reflects his status as one of Europe’s finest wingers. Saka is also regarded as a talismanic figure for the Gunners, not only due to his performances, but also because he is a homegrown player who has surmounted obstacles to reach this position.
Arsenal has now put Saka in a position to win trophies with the club he has been with since he was a child, which will only fuel his ambitions and desire to remain. He has also emerged as an important figure for England while playing in north London.
Only last month, he told Sky Sports that he hopes to help Arsenal win the biggest trophies possible during his tenure there. So that is the next stage. We’ve had many of the group members together for many years, and we’ve been through a lot of ups and downs together, and now all we want to do is take the next step.”
However, while Saka’s new contract appears to be nearing completion, discussions over extending Arteta’s stay at the club have yet to begin. The Spaniard is in the final 18 months of his term, but talks about staying are not yet on the agenda.
