Will they stay or will they go? Several Arsenal players are said to be in talks over new deals while others are holding off on putting pen to paper – but who?
According to a report in the Telegraph this week, there are certain players that Arsenal are keener to get tied down to new contracts than others.

The 26-year-old’s deal runs out in June 2019 and Arsenal clearly don’t want to lose him.

“We always try behind the scenes, the negotiations are going on. Of course we only come with things when they are done, but most of the time it’s a year and a half – or more – of work.”
