There is a belief behind the scenes at Arsenal that Bukayo Saka is keen to extend his contract with the club, according to a report from Football London.

Saka appears to be giving the Gunners supporters a good scare right now. The Telegraph reports that his £7,000-a-week deal at the Emirates expires next summer.

So far, talks are yet to reach an agreement over an extension.

The Telegraph added that a number of clubs have been alerted to Saka’s potential availability.

Certainly, the longer the uncertainty continues, the more anxious the Arsenal supporters may become with Saka being hugely impressive for Mikel Arteta’s side this season.

But a report from Football London now appears to offer some hope.

According to Football London, Arsenal believe that there is, at least, some desire on Saka’s part to agree a new contract. It is noted however, that reaching an agreement will not be a formality by any means.

TBR View – Saka contract could be huge coup for Arsenal

Saka has been a revelation for the Gunners this season. No player in the team has contributed more assists. He has set up eight goals in the Premier League and Europa League.

The 18-year-old looks to have an enormous amount of potential having adapted so well to life in the first-team.

And losing him in the near future would be a huge blow for Arsenal.

So the supporters will be hoping that Saka’s potential desire to stay leads to an agreement being reached.

It could arguably be one of the best pieces of business Arsenal do all year.
