EPL: Bukayo Saka not ready to discuss new contract with Arsenal

Bukayo Saka is delaying new contract talks with Arsenal.

According to The Daily Express, Saka is set to delay discussions over a new contract with Arsenal until the end of the season in order to focus on helping the club in their fight for a top-four finish.

The Gunners are eager to open talks with their prized asset over a fresh long-term contract but will have to wait before tying him down for the long-term.

Saka is halfway through his current deal, which expires in June 2024 and is thought to be worth around £35,000-a-week, so there is no sense of urgency for him to sign on the dotted line.

But the Gunners want to reward the England international for his fine form after becoming a key player for Mikel Arteta’s side.
