Arsenal are continuing their contract discussions with centre back William Saliba as they look to secure their star players to long-term deals.
At the end of this season, Saliba will enter the final two years of his contract, which he signed in 2023.
Manager Mikel Arteta has always made it clear that he wants to secure key players and there is an intention to tie Bukayo Saka down to a long-term deal.
Arsenal also want to secure Saliba's defensive partner Gabriel Magalhaes to a new contract and he also has two years remaining on his deal.
Saliba has been linked with Real Madrid in recent weeks but said in March that his contract situation was not something he was thinking about.
"I'm really happy here," he said. "I've been here for two years and a half as well. There is nothing. I'm happy here and I want to continue here."
At that time Saliba said that there was "no rush" to sign a new deal and that he wanted to win "big things" with Arsenal.
When speaking before Arsenal's game against PSV, he said: "If you leave this club without winning anything, the fans will forget about you. I want to win big things here."
