Report: Bukayo Saka set for new Arsenal contract

Arsenal are readying a new-and-improved contract for versatile teenage wideman Bukayo Saka, according to a report.

The 18-year-old impressed for the Gunners in an unfamiliar left-back position prior to the coronavirus pandemic bringing a halt to the Premier League season.

Saka, who can also play in a left-sided midfield position, is soon to enter the final year of his existing £5,000-a-week deal at the Emirates Stadium.

According to The Athletic, however, the England Under-19s international is soon to be rewarded with fresh terms that will see his salary significantly increase.

Mikel Arteta has played Saka in all but one of his 16 matches in charge, originally due to the injury absence of Kieran Tierney.
