Saka ready to commit to double-your-money Arsenal contract

Bukayo Saka is set to double his money as he prepares to pen a new contract with Arsenal.

The Gunners have offered the England international a new deal which would make him one of the club's best paid players, worth at least double his current £70,000-per-week deal.

It is understood a full agreement over an extension is still to be reached with talks ongoing behind the scenes, says the Daily Mail.

Arsenal have made it clear that securing Saka to a new deal was a priority for the board.

Gunners manager Mikel Arteta stated just last week a confidence that Saka would pen new terms and when asked about the claims, the England international said: "Yes, I share his confidence."

When pressed further, the forward simply added: "I share that confidence, that is it."
