Journalist drops Arsenal contract claim

With Arsenal flying excessive in each the Premier League and Europa League this season, there are real hopes that Mikel Arteta is constructing one thing particular on the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners haven’t gained the league title since 2004, however having misplaced simply once in 11 top-flight matches thus far, they might give Manchester Metropolis a run for his or her cash this time period.

Journalist Pete O’Rourke gave his ideas on the scenario to GIVEMESPORT, saying: “Yeah, I feel it’ll be in Arsenal’s plans to get these gamers sorted out and tied all the way down to new contracts.

“Bukayo Saka, clearly he’s been in very good kind for Arsenal this season, as have Martinelli and Saliba, so I’m certain Mikel Arteta shall be demanding that the membership safe these gamers new contracts, but it surely does appear there’s curiosity from different golf equipment within the gamers. In order that’s one thing that Arsenal have to be anxious about.”

This could possibly be an enormous enhance for Arteta if he does handle to tie all of them all the way down to new offers, particularly given their performances this season.

All three gamers are ranked amongst Arsenal’s top eight league performers this season (as per SofaScore) whereas they’ve collectively scored 11 targets between them in all competitions, contributing closely to the membership’s wonderful begin to the marketing campaign.

Moreover, extending the trio’s present offers might work out extraordinarily properly sooner or later.

After all, the supervisor isn’t considering like that for the time being, however wonderful performances within the English prime flight carry a threat of potential big-name suitors sniffing from the continent.

The following few weeks earlier than the World Cup could possibly be an important time for the 40-year-old Arsenal supervisor, particularly if he desires his future ambitions to be realised by securing the futures of three vastly essential younger gamers.
