Arsenal not panicking over stalling Saka talks

Arsenal chiefs are confident of securing Bukayo Saka to a new contract.

Arsenal have yet to make any significant developments in contract negotiations with Saka, reports the football.london, but are optimistic about getting him to commit to the club for the long term.

Young Player of the Year contender Saka has enjoyed a brilliant season since being thrown in by Unai Emery in the Europa League in September, when he scored one and laid on two assists in a 3-0 win away at Eintracht Frankfurt.

With his current contract running out in 2021, there were concerns Arsenal could lose Saka just as he is blossoming into a first-team regular.

However, Arsenal are confident that they can get the player to sign an extension.

They believe there is a desire from Ealing-born Saka to remain at the Emirates, having been at the club since the age of eight.
