EPL: Arsenal management excited to begin contract talks with senior trio

Arsenal management is pleased with the progress of new contract talks with Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka and William Saliba.

That’s the claim of transfer guru Fabrizio Romano as the Prem leaders look to build on their transformation this season.

Boss Mikel Arteta hopes sporting director Edu can tie up new deals for the key men soon.

And all three says they are happy to stay for the long term.

But England winger Saka, in particular, is the envy of many huge European clubs.

One rumour suggests Manchester City could be keen on a summer move.

That speculation sometimes includes Jack Grealish plus cash moving in the opposite direction.
