After a successful summer, Arsenal focuses on securing long-term deals for their core players. As the reigning champions, they entered this season as favorites, bolstered by a strong start that has seen them accumulate maximum points while conceding just once in their first three games.

With managerial and player changes happening around them in the Premier League, Arsenal aims to retain their key stars, particularly with the financial resources now at their disposal. According to TeamTalk, the Gunners are in negotiations for contract extensions for three pivotal players:

• Declan Rice: A central figure in the team's strategy and performance.
• Martin Odegaard: Continuing his impressive form from the World Cup, he has been crucial in midfield.
• Jurrien Timber: Recognized as one of the top full-backs globally when fit.

All three players are nearing the end of their current contracts, which expire in the summer of 2028. Securing new deals is imperative for Arsenal, as delaying negotiations could lead to increased costs. With the team's ambitions high, maintaining these key players is essential for sustaining their success in the league.
