# Arsenal set to submit contract offer to Manchester City ace?

[![milner](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/milner-500x351.jpg)](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/milner.jpg?admin)Arsenal fans in the Football Transfer Tavern are deep in debate after the [London Evening Standard](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/arsenal-transfer-news-gunners-must-offer-james-milner-fouryear-deal-to-fend-off-rivals-10177801.html) revealed they are considering offering Manchester City midfielder James Milner a contract at the end of the season.

As things stand the 29-year-old is going to be a free agent at the end of season and the Gunners are hoping they can capitalise on this situation.

Milner has currently turned down a three-year extension worth £80,000 a week, with the issue being that the club cannot guarantee first-team football.

Arsenal are amongst several clubs in contention to offer Milner a contract including Liverpool, Valencia and Inter Milan.

The former Leeds United and Aston Villa is a key asset to the Citizens as he counts as a home grown player and this is essential when registering squads.

Not only is this a positive but he is a great professional with a phenomenal work rate and there has been times this season where he has inspired the team to get a result, in matches where the other stars have been lacklustre.

### Arsenal fans. Do you the club should make James Milner a top priority in the summer? Let us know your thoughts below
