Arsenal could face a battle to retain the services of Reiss Nelson, whose contract is set to expire this summer. According to the Evening Standard, Milan, West Ham, Brighton, and Fulham are all interested in signing the Hale End star, as they may be able to offer him more regular first-team football than Arsenal. Despite not starting a single Premier League game this season, Nelson has scored three goals, including a dramatic winner against Bournemouth in March. The 23-year-old’s potential departure could be a blow for Arsenal, who may need to find a replacement or risk losing a promising young player.

Bukayo Saka’s new contract
Arsenal are reportedly close to securing the long-term future of Bukayo Saka, with the England international expected to sign a new contract with the club soon. Saka has had another impressive season with the Gunners, contributing to several goals and assists as the team has kept the title race alive. While Saka has been one of Arsenal’s most important players for over two years, his current contract does not reflect his importance to the squad. However, this is set to change with the 21-year-old close to signing a new deal that will reportedly see him earn £300,000 per week, or £15.6 million annually. This represents a significant increase from his current deal, which pays him £70,000 a week. Over the course of his new five-year contract, Saka will earn £78m, an indication of his importance to Arsenal’s future plans.
