Arsenal are in talks with Saturday's match-winning hero Reiss Nelson over a new contract.
Nelson's future is uncertain with his current deal expiring at the end of the season.
But discussions over an extension are underway, with hope growing that the intention from all parties is to agree on a deal for Nelson to stay.
Arsenal are confident the winger wants to remain in north London, raising hope that a positive resolution can be found.
Nelson scored a euphoric winner in the seventh minute of injury time as the Gunners came from 2-0 down to beat Bournemouth 3-2 at the weekend to maintain their five-point lead at the top of the table.
