Arsenal contract news: Update on William Saliba, Bukayo Saka & Aaron Ramsdale talks

2022/23 has been a season in which a number of Arsenal's previously up-and-coming talents have become genuine Premier League stars.

The likes of Bukayo Saka, Aaron Ramsdale and William Saliba have all taken their game to another level and, in turn, made the Gunners surprising title contenders.

To reflect their new status at the club, and in Europe in general, Arsenal are keen to tie their star men down to new deals.

Here, 90min reveals the lates on talks with the trio and several others.

Aaron Ramsdale contract latest

90min understands that talks have progressed quickly, and smoothly, with Aaron Ramsdale in recent weeks and the new contract should be finalised by the end of May.

Sources have confirmed that the deal is set be a lucrative one for the goalkeeper, who is set to more than double his current wages at the club and be tied down for the long-term.

The Gunners see their number one as being on par with the top goalkeepers in the Premier League and are rewarding him as such.

Bukayo Saka new contract agreed

It's more good news regarding Bukayo Saka's contract talks as 90min has been told that a new deal has been agreed with the club and is set to be confirmed soon. It was actually agreed in principle as far back as February.

The England star has been one of the best players in the Premier League this season, hitting double figures for both goals (13) and assists (11).

Granit Xhaka contract talks

The occasionally divisie holding midfielder has arguably been the Gunners' most consistent performer during the 2022/23 season.

90min can report that talks are currently ongoing over a new contract, with Arsenal being delighted with the player's attitude on and off the pitch through the last year.

A sticking point in negotiations has been the length of the new contract, but Arsenal are keen for Granit Xhaka to remain at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal 'hopeful' on new William Saliba contract

Arsenal are 'hopeful' of agreeing a new contract with star defender William Saliba, whose recent injury absence has proven costly in the title race, but no extension is currently imminent.

Reiss Nelson set to 'test the market'

Sources have confirmed to 90min that Reiss Nelson is set to test the market this summer, and while he hasn't ruled out staying, he looks set to leave Arsenal.

The Gunners are currently in the market for a new winger, with 90min recently reporting that Raphinha and Ferran Torres are top targets, with Moussa Diaby and Wilfried Zaha also featuring on the list.
