If there’s one thing Arteta has been keen to do in the last few months, it’s to tie his key stars to new deals. After Saliba’s new deal is announced soon, Arteta will have six players on new deals. Other than Saliba Gabriel, Gabriel Martinelli, Aaron Ramsdale, and Bukayo Saka have also signed new deals.
Arteta is probably laying the foundation for dominance in the years ahead; he might be aiming for his own treble. So, six down, more to go, so who will commit to Arteta’s project next? Reiss Nelson, Martin Odegaard, and Ben White are likely the next.
Now Fabrizio has confirmed that Reiss Nelson is going to sign a new deal. The Gunner, who was named the PL Castrol Game Changer of the Season not long ago, was set to be a free agent, but may have won over Arteta’s trust. We hope he will soar next season with a new deal.
🚨 Arsenal have reached full agreement with Reiss Nelson over new long term deal, as revealed weeks ago — player verbally agreed, here we go #AFC
It will be valid until 2027 with option for further season.

As for Odegaard, he is undoubtedly due for a better deal than what he is getting. The Norwegian was phenomenal last season; his 15 goals and seven assists were instrumental to the Gunners’ season. PSG was said to be keen on his services, though that transfer rumour has cooled off. Arsenal ought to put him in a position where he won’t want to leave.
Ben White was brilliant last season. How he dazzled at right back was just a highlight of how special he is to Arteta’s project. Giving him a new, improved deal is worth it.
Arteta is building something great in the Emirates. How right Gooners were to trust the process.

You was right in your previous article, he did sign. Not too sure about Saiba. I will believe it when I see it. Odegaard will be next. Then then the purchase of Bellingham for £120 million plus add-ons and then Maddison for £30 million to complete our central midfield. “” .Forget Rice and Caicedo. I’ve watched them both play. They may win one or, at a stretch 2 tackles during a game and make simple passes sideways and backwards. Hardly adventurous or positive. They do however make them selves available to receive the ball, but so do our defenders. They are hardly worth more than £50 million each. I would forget those 2 over priced players and invest £120 million in Jude Bellingham. He would make a real difference and he’s worth the money, and he is a lot younger. If you kept him for 7 years and then sold him, with inflation you would easily get your money back and probably earn a profit on him. Win Win. Edu, please read this and put your business head on. You will get a world class player and make a profit on him. No brainer. Imaging Jude Bellingham playing for Arsenal as a box to box player or a DFM. Aim higher guys, while we have the funds availabe, get only “The Worlds Best” to beat the best.
@daveg your comment is soooo funny🤣🤣🤣
Very funny
If Edu reads justArsenal, I may just be able to brainwash him with repeated bloggs to buy Bellingham. My mates say, I am on mission impossible, I think they’re right. Arsenal will probably buy ordinary and not the spectacular! Edu Edu look into my eyes and buy Bellingham, instead of Rice and Caicedo😃
Bellingham is going to RM for 85M plus adds on,so forget about it.
daveg, how long is it since Arsenal sold on a high profile sihning at a profit?Home grown players like Iwobi don’t count.
“signing”
Nelson will give Saka a rest now and again and hopefully cement that position. Because with the odd premiership game, champions league and all the cup games there is plenty of games for him to promote himself. So the right wing should now be covered. We just need the central midfield strengthened to complete our midfield section. “” \Forget Rice and Caicedo. I’ve watched them both play.

He’s gone to real Madrid. We missed our chance when he went to dortmund.
real Madrid may sell him for 250m£.
and thanGod we have that in our budget
If Smith Rowe is fit and back in the sort of form that we know he’s capable of, he can do all that Bellingham does…and score goals.
Jax, I too have high hopes for ESR, if his recent operation has solved his injury issue and he gets a run of games.
I’m pleased for Nelson who’s been a bit underrated by the fans, but he’s a valuable squad member who can play either side and score goals with both feet.
👍 Jax
Why did Dortman Not offer him to other clubs for more money? Not seen a press conference yet. If Bellingham has agreed personal terms and sign for Real Madrid (who is a team in debt with high wages) for £88 million. Then how can Westham and Brighton expect £100 million each for Rice and Caicedo if Bellingham went to cash short Real Madrd for only £88 million, especially when he is better than both of them put together? Unless they think Arsenal are stupid !
only the name real Madrid is worth 25m£
every player dream
ur Bellingham has been taken and please the deal is 100m nt 88m
@chigozirim
Just for your info…. 100 million Euros is the equivalent of 88 million Pounds (GBP)
Premier league players come at a premium. That’s how it’s been for some time. And if they happen to be British / English then add a few more £millions on top.
😊
👍 Goonster some people need reminding of this fact.
This one, along with Eddie, I don’t really understand. I don’t think either improve the team starting or from the bench and have been given chances to hold a starting spot, in a team that was flying, this season. I can’t fault the players but it’s football and loyalty both ways should be set on talent and ambition.
I don’t understand the reasoning for this decision….maybe to do with the home grown quota? I hope he can show us something we haven’t seen from him yet!
Kelv, maybe this decision is due to requiring a squad to cover playing in 3 domestic competitions and in Europe.
What do you want Nelson to show to be able to fill in for Saka or Martinelli, that he hasn’t shown thus far in his limited minutes?
Forgive me if I don’t get too excited about this one. Reis’s Nelson is decent but hardly the player to push Saka. In no reality is Saka ever going to be at risk of losing his place in the team to Nelson.
