Arsenal in contract talks with €210m trio as Arteta targets Premier League domination Make us your Google favourite Arsenal have made significant progress in contract extension talks with Declan Rice , Martin Odegaard and Jurrien Timber , according to reports. The Gunners have prioritised rewarding their current stars with new deals over the past few years, with David Raya, William Saliba and Myles Lewis-Skelly among the players to have agreed fresh terms, and they are set to continue this strategy moving forward. The north London giants have backed manager Mikel Arteta with the summer signings of Bruno Guimaraes, Ezri Konsa and Christos Tzolis, and they are now set to intensify discussions to retain their current crop of talented stars. TEAMtalk report that advanced discussions with Rice, Odegaard and Timber, who have a combined Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) of €210 million, have taken place since the end of last season, and the club have made significant progress in their bid to officially finalise new deals for the trio shortly. All three players have just less than two years remaining on their current contracts at the Emirates Stadium and Arsenal are eager to agree terms as soon as possible in order to avoid any speculation of a possible exit next summer. Odegaard was linked with a sensational departure before the start of the 2026-27 campaign, but such rumours were quickly shut down and he has started the season in fine form, helping Arsenal to back-to-back wins in the Premier League as they look to defend their crown. Mikel Arteta to sign new contract? In addition to negotiations with Rice, Odegaard and Timber, Arsenal are also expected to finalise a contract extension with Arteta himself, as per TEAMtalk, following lengthy talks over the past few months. In fact, Arteta is in line to formally sign a new deal at the Emirates Stadium before the upcoming September international break. It’s claimed that Arteta was keen for the Arsenal hierarchy to prioritise contract talks with key members of his first-team squad before initiating discussions with the board over his own future, but an agreement is likely to be in place soon. The Spaniard boasts the best win percentage of any permanent Arsenal manager in history, and he guided the club to their first Premier League title since 2004 last season.
