Arsenal have opened talks with Bukayo Saka about a new contract.
The 20-year-old is enjoying his best season yet, with his strike in the 1-0 win over Aston Villa being his ninth Premier League goal of the season.
Saka's growing importance to Mikel Arteta's side is reflected in their determination to reward the star with a new contract.
The Athletic says an initial discussion has taken place over an improved deal.
Saka, who signed his last contract in 2020, is understood to have one more year on his contract after this season.
Arsenal do have the option to extend his current contract by a further year and they are expected to activate that clause if a fresh agreement isn't reached.
