Arsenal have activated clauses to extend the contracts of Bukayo Saka and William Saliba by an extra year as talks continue over long-term agreements, sources have told ESPN.
Both players were entering the final six months of their present deals but the Gunners have triggered extensions keeping the pair at the club until 2024.

Negotiations are ongoing with Saka, Saliba and Gabriel Martinelli — who is contracted until 2024 with Arsenal holding an option to extend by a further two seasons — as sources insist the Premier League leaders are confident of securing their futures beyond next year.
Saka will command a huge increase in salary after establishing himself as a key player in Mikel Arteta’s side before enjoying an impressive World Cup campaign with England in Qatar. Sources with knowledge of Saka’s talks suggest he is in line for a huge jump to around £200,000-a-week although the precise terms are as yet unclear.
