Arsenal are increasingly confident of reaching an agreement with 18-year old winger Ethan Nwaneri over a new contract.
Nwaneri, 18, enjoyed a fine breakout campaign for the Gunners last season as he scored nine goals in 37 appearances across all competitions.
However, there had been speculation that could leave Mikel Arteta's side as his existing deal was set to expire next summer.
But Arsenal hope they can convince the player to stay by offering him a five-year contract - or a four-year deal with an option for a further year to be included, according to BBC Sport.
