The club is said to be in negotiations to and the England international a new deal that will see his earnings shoot.
The Sun reports that Saka’s current wages are only £30,000 a week with the club keen to quadruple that to as high as £125,000 a week something that ahs said to be enticing to the player’s camp who sees his future at the Emirates.
The new deal would bring him up to the likes of Ben White (£120,000-a-week) and Kieran Tierney (£110,000-a-week) and would make Saka the fourth-highest earner at the club. Only Thomas Partey, Alexandre Lacazette, and Nicolas Pepe would be earning more than the winger.
