Arsenal want to assure Saka's future at the club. Several clubs are lying in wait, but manager Arteta is trying to get him to stay. Therefore, the board will have to negotiate with the player. The Gunners would like him to sign until the 2025-26 season.
He is just 18 years old and his current contract runs until 2021, the previously mentioned source reports. It is vital to get him a new deal as soon as possible because, otherwise, his value could drop or he could even agree a deal with another club once he is in the final year of his contract.
What is needed to persuade him to stay? It has already come to light that the club are thinking of significantly increasing his salary. Bearing in mind it is his first season stading out in the first team, he is expected to be open to it. He has made 29 appearances of which 21 have been starts.
He has scored three goals and got nine assists. He is more unselfish than ever before because although his highest number of goals in a season is six (he got them at U18 level), he has never assisted so much. His previous best was seven (for the U23s).
