Arsenal boosted with contract extension updates over three key players amid Mikel Arteta decision

Arsenal are set to extend the contracts of Aaron Ramsdale and Bukayo Saka, LondonWorld understands.

As revealed in Tuesday’s episode of the Chris Wheatley Show, the Gunners are looking to tie down the futures of their best young players to new long-term deals.

England international Saka was always expected to commit his future to the club despite interest from the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool.

Saka, 21, has scored 13 goals and made 11 assists in 35 Premier League games this season and is widely regarded as one of the best young players in Europe.

He will be rewarded with a bumper deal which will make him Arsenal’s highest paid player, while goalkeeper Ramsdale is also being handed a new contract following an impressive campaign between the sticks.

France defender William Saliba, expected to be ruled out for the rest of the campaign with a back injury, is also in advanced talks over a new deal and the Gunners are confident that he will put pen-to-paper soon.

Reiss Nelson has rejected an offer a contract extension from Arsenal amid fears that he could leave on a free transfer when his deal expires in June.

Nelson, has impressed in cameo appearances over the past couple of months, but was been pushed further down the pecking order after the arrival of Leandro Trossard in January.

LondonWorld understands that more than three Premier League teams and multiple European sides have expressed interest in the 23-year-old.
