BUKAYO SAKA has allegedly agreed to stay at Arsenal.
And he is now closing in on a bumper new contract worth £200,000-a-week.
The Gunners winger was in brilliant form for England during the World Cup in Qatar.
Saka, 21, was named in L’Equipe’s team of the tournament – with the French newspaper a notoriously harsh critic.
Since returning from the Middle East he has continued to shine for table-topping Arsenal despite entering the final 18 months of his deal.
Saka has scored five goals since heading back to North London, with his latest helping his team to beat Aston Villa 4-2 last weekend.

Now supporters have been dealt a huge boost ahead of the trip to Leicester on Saturday after a fresh report claimed he has agreed to commit his future to the club.
The Athletic states he has reached “an agreement in principle over a new long-term contract”.
However, the deal is still not officially signed and “may take some time to finalise”.
But it adds that it is “now in place and will come as a huge boost to the club”.
