# Arsenal: Gunners confident of extending three players’ contracts

**[Arsenal](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/arsenal-fc-news/) are confident in tying down Bukayo Saka, William Saliba and Gabriel Martinelli to new contracts, according to Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth.**

### **The Lowdown: Contract situations**

[Top](https://www.skysports.com/premier-league-table) of the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) table after seven games, the Gunners have turned their attention to sorting out fresh deals for some of their most important players.

Both [Saka](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bukayo-saka/profil/spieler/433177) and [Saliba](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/william-saliba/profil/spieler/495666) are contracted until the summer of 2024, so they theoretically have 21 months remaining at the Emirates Stadium. [Martinelli](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/gabriel-martinelli/profil/spieler/655488)’s deal also runs until that time, but the club have the option to extend this by a further year.

### **The Latest: Sheth’s claim**

Sheth believes that Arsenal are confident in getting the star trio to sign new long-term deals with the club.

Speaking with [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/88062626-arsenal-now-confident-over-deals-for-135m-trio-at-the-emirates) about the futures of those three players, the Sky Sports reporter claimed: “I think that would be a big priority. I think that they’re pretty confident of being able to do those deals for those players.”

### **The Verdict: Huge news**

All three of Saka, Saliba and Martinelli have [started each of](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/13/Show/England-Arsenal) Arsenal’s first seven Premier League games in 2022/23, of which Mikel Arteta’s side have [won six](https://www.skysports.com/premier-league-table), so they can all feel that they have contributes plenty to the team’s early-season success.

The Gunners have [scored the third-most goals](https://www.skysports.com/premier-league-table) in the English top flight, and defensively they also come in at joint-third for the [least number of goals conceded](https://www.skysports.com/premier-league-table).

With a combined [Transfermarkt valuation of £135m](https://www.givemesport.com/88062626-arsenal-now-confident-over-deals-for-135m-trio-at-the-emirates), it is essential for the north London outfit to tie down those three regulars (all of whom are still only 21) to long-term deals as a means of ensuring their long-term future with the club.

Otherwise, Arsenal may be forced into selling them for reduced prices next season when their contracts are dwindling, a situation that Arteta will surely be keen to avoid.
