Arsenal are preparing to announce a new contract for Bukayo Saka.

Saka will become Arsenal's top earner when he signs a new five-year contract worth up to 300,000-a-week, says The Sun.

The 21-year-old England international has been in talks with the club for more than a year and is now ready to put pen to paper.

And the agreement will more than quadruple his current 70,000-a-week salary to make him the club's highest paid player.

He will overtake Gabriel Jesus in the Emirates pecking order after the Brazilian striker agreed a 250,000-a-week deal when he signed from Manchester City for 45million last summer.

Manager Mikel Arteta and sporting director Edu were both keen to reward Saka's efforts with a deal which reflects his status as the team's most valuable player.

And though he won't be getting quite as much as the 350,000-a-week deal which made Mesut Ozil the highest paid player in the club's history, a breakthrough was still reached last month following negotiations to iron out the final details over various bonus payments.

Now the club are set to announce the lengthy new deal to 2028 which will end all the speculation surrounding Saka's long-term future and delight Gunners supporters.
