'Sit down with him, get him on a good contract': Ray Parlour urges Arsenal to avoid repeating bygone mistakes as he insists the club's priority remains tying Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli down to new deals

Former Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlour has said that mistakes made by previous Arsenal regimes must not be repeated when it comes to renewing the deals of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.

Mikel Arteta's side currently sit atop the Premier League and are looking to renew the deals of two of their most impressive stars so far this season with the youngsters only having two years remaining on their respective deals.

Martinelli after the victory over Liverpool last weekend revealed discussions were taking place over a new deal while speculation has been around for some time regarding the club's wishes to tie Saka down to a long-term contract.
