Arsenal aren't standing pat on the issue of Bukayo Saka's future, according to head coach Mikel Arteta, who has detailed the north London club's attempts to secure its brightest academy talent to a new contract.

Arteta said: "The club is doing what it has to do and is having conversations. [Hopefully] we'll get it resolved," per Gary Stonehouse of The Sun.

Where Saka plays his football in the long term has become an issue thanks to his breakthrough performances this season. The 18-year-old, who is out of contract in the summer of 2021, has earned plaudits thanks to his pace, technique and eye for goal.
