Arsenal star Bukayo Saka is set to sign a new long-term contract with the club, according to The Telegraph.
The Gunners graduate is currently an undisputed starter under manager Mikel Arteta and the club are keen to reward him for his progress.
Saka’s existing deal does not expire until the summer of 2024, but the club want to finalise a bumper contract to ward off any transfer interest.
Manchester City and Liverpool are keeping a close eye on the youngster, but the Gunners are confident that Saka will prolong his stay soon.
The youngster is presently on wages of around £65,000-a-week. He will reportedly earn around £200,000-a-week by penning a new deal.
He would become one of the top five earners with the renewal and there could be similar contracts rewarded to many of his teammates.
William Saliba and Gabriel Martinelli are among the front-runners to be handed with bumper deals for their excellent showing in recent months.
