Arsenal are set to offer defender Bacary Sagna a new contract, which will see him remain at the club for a further two-years.
The French international’s current deal expires in the Summer and after months of talks and discussions, it looks like the two parties have finally agreed on a deal.
It was believed that neither the club or the player could agree with the offered deal, but after holding more talks, it finally looks like Sagna is ready to sign the extension.
The 30-year-old has been heavily linked with a move back to France and this left Arsenal scouting for his possible replacement, however, it now appears that a breakthrough has been made and Arsene Wenger seems confident that the deal will be wrapped up within the next fortnight.
Wenger said: “Yes, that could be decided in next two weeks. It looks positive. It would be a great boost, of course.”
It is suggested that his new deal will see him earn roughly £70k-a-week.
