Saka's Arsenal pay day! England star reveals he's confident he will sign a new long-term contract with the Gunners that will see him DOUBLE his current £70,000-a-week deal in another boost to Mikel Arteta's side after their perfect start

Bukayo Saka has handed Arsenal a major boost by revealing he is confident of signing a bumper new contract.

As Sportsmail revealed in July, the Gunners have offered the England international a new deal which would make him one of the club's best paid players, worth at least double his current £70,000-per-week deal.

It is understood a full agreement over an extension is still to be reached with talks ongoing behind the scenes.
