Arsenal want to address two key contract situations during the international break

Arsenal are reportedly looking to make progress on new contract extensions for Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard during the international break. Discussions with Rice are already active, with the club seeking to extend his stay and increase his £260,000-a-week wages. Odegaard, who also earns £260,000 weekly, is keen to stay and is expected to be rewarded following strong form.

Talks regarding a salary increase for Jurrien Timber are reported to be the most advanced of all current negotiations. Additionally, Arsenal are expected to finalize a three-year contract extension for manager Mikel Arteta once details are settled with Andrea Berta.
