Bukayo Saka has agreed a new contract with Arsenal.
Although the terms has yet to be finalised, the deal will see him earn a minimum of £10 million a year and make him among the top earners at the Emirates.
The 21 year old has been with the Gunners since the age of six, and has long been a fan favourite, having been voted their Player of the Year for the past two seasons.
He is their leading goalscorer this season, with ten to his name and eight assists, and is one of the leading contenders to be voted Premier League Player of the Year.
Manchester City and Liverpool are just some of the clubs that had been tracking his situation, but Saka has made it clear that he wants to stay at the Emirates, having been convinced of the direction of travel under Mikel Arteta.
