According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, Bukayo Saka is “happy” at Arsenal and talks with his representatives about a new deal are ongoing.
The England international is contracted to the Gunners until 2024 but we’re understandably keen to tie him down for much longer with the biggest clubs in Europe keeping tabs on his progress.
As things stand, Saka is one of the club’s lowest earners having last agreed terms in July 2020 not long after becoming a regular in the senior team.
Recently voted the club’s player of the year, he’s in line for a bumper pay rise that should put him on a par with some of the squad’s biggest earners.

While it’s looking increasingly likely that we’ll persuade Saka to stay, the same can’t be said of 18-year-old winger Omari Hutchinson.
Various sources claim that the Jamaica international has agreed to join Chelsea.
While he’s yet to play for the senior squad, Hutchinson was included on the subs bench 10 times last season and had been tipped to sign a new deal before going out on loan.
For whatever reason, he’s decided his future lies elsewhere.
