Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is positive Bukayo Saka will sign a contract extension 'very shortly'.
The 18-year-old's current deal expires next summer and clubs such as Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool have been circling.
However, Arteta has moved to reassure supporters that the Gunners are making moves to keep Saka in North London.
"I am very positive that everything is going to be done with Bukayo very shortly," said the Spaniard, whose side will face Southampton on Thursday night.
"The communications between the club, agents and the family has been going on for months and is very fluent.
"The player and family knows how much trust I have in him. I think he is just showing that every week and his consistency level is getting better and better.
"I'm so excited with the young players that we have. They just need the right environment around them to explode and Bukayo is doing that even in difficult circumstances which is even more merit for him."
