Arsenal are set to offer experienced defender David Luiz another one-year contract extension.
The centre-back, who is in his second season with the Gunners, sees his current deal expire at the end of June.
As reported by The Independent, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta values Luiz's leadership qualities, while the 33-year-old has also helped many of the club's younger players to settle into the first-team squad.
Luiz has produced some impressive displays for Arsenal, especially during last season's successful FA Cup run.
However, he remains somewhat erratic and can make costly mistakes at times.
