Arsenal boss Arteta says Saka, Saliba deals on agenda

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says new deals for Bukayo Saka and William Saliba are on the agenda.

The duo could leave Arsenal at the end of next season once their contracts expire.

Speaking to the press ahead of the Gunners' clash with Everton, Arteta addressed speculation regarding Saka and Saliba's future.

The Spaniard said: "Part of the plan is to extend the contract of our biggest talents at the club and commit them for the future and we are trying to do that. We have started with Gabby (Martinelli) which is good news.

"The others will be done whenever we can, but we have to agree on that." Arteta added: "I see everybody really happy and really willing to continue with the club. But obviously, we have to meet everyone's expectations and timing is key on that."

It's believed that Arsenal remain locked in talks with Saka over an extension and it's understood negotiations are progressing positively.
