Overview
- David Ornstein reports Bukayo Saka has agreed a new long-term contract that positions him as Arsenal’s top earner and franchise figure.
- The Telegraph reports Andrea Berta has told agents no incoming player will be handed a contract larger than Saka’s.
- Reports indicate Arsenal want Marc Guehi but are prepared to wait until the summer for a potential free transfer rather than buy in January.
- Ornstein says Arsenal are the likely exception among elite clubs chasing Elliot Anderson because their midfield is already full and a winter deal would be costly.
- Besiktas’ president, via Alfredo Pedulla, is quoted saying a £15m move for Nuno Tavares is being worked on, which would deliver roughly £5m to Arsenal through a 35% sell-on clause.
