Arsenal very close to making a big contract announcement on one key first-team player – journalist
Arsenal supporters may soon receive the desired announcement regarding a fresh deal for their prominent winger, Bukayo Saka.
The 21-year-old player has been a standout performer this season and is being considered as a contender for the league’s player of the year award.
He also put in a strong performance for the England national team recently.
Nonetheless, concerns have arisen at Arsenal regarding Saka’s contract, as he has not yet reached a complete agreement with the club, and Manchester City is reportedly keeping an eye on the situation.
According to the Independent’s Miguel Delaney, a new contract announcement for Saka is imminent.
New Arsenal contract for Bukayo Saka now closer than ever
“As with almost everything at the moment, things are happier across north London. Bukayo Saka’s rise from a player of immense potential to an important difference-maker has seen half of Europe look at him – including Manchester City – but it is understood that initial talks about a new contract at Arsenal are progressing very well. The England international shouldn’t be too far off an announcement,” Delaney wrote in his latest Reading the Game newsletter.
Saka will sign a new contract, following in the footsteps of Gabi Martinelli. William Saliba is also eligible for new terms with The Emirates.
Although Saka’s progress at Arsenal is positive news, the fans will not be fully satisfied until his future with the club is secured.
However, there is currently no reason to be concerned as Saka appears devoted to Arsenal, and it would take a significant issue for him to consider leaving.
Nonetheless, in today’s fast-paced world, Arsenal must finalize this deal quickly to avoid the interest of other clubs like City from growing as time goes on.
