Arsenal and Bukayo Saka are set to hold fresh talks over a new contract, with Andrea Berta taking care of negotiations, Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has now reported.
Saka is edging closer to returning for the Gunners after an extended period on the sidelines due to injury. The England international is yet to feature for Arsenal in 2025 after picking up a hamstring problem last year, and there's no doubt he's been a huge miss during that time.
Saka's importance to Arsenal has been amplified in his absence. The north London outfit have fallen short in the Premier League title race and are struggling in the final third, showing how crucial Saka, who earns £195k-a-week currently, is to their side in attack. With Arsenal preparing to face Real Madrid in the Champions League later this month, the return of Saka from injury will be a major boost.
