Arsenal have reportedly made the breakthrough in negotiations over a new deal for Bukayo Saka.

While the 18-year-old has established himself as one of the top prospects in Europe this season, the academy graduate has been prepared to allow his contract to enter its final 12 months.

Having contributed two goals and nine assists in the Premier League and Europa League this season, the left-sided player has inevitably attracted widespread interest from elsewhere.

However, The Athletic claims that the teenager is now happy to pen a new long-term deal at the Emirates Stadium.

The report suggests that the Gunners may be in a place to officially confirm the agreement before the end of the week.

The development comes a week after the North London outfit announced that they had agreed fresh terms with David Luiz, Cedric Soares and Pablo Mari.
