Arsenal are preparing to offer right-back, Hector Bellerin, a new five year contract, according to the Mirror.
Bellerin still has three years left on his current contract, but Arsene Wenger is keen on extending that in order to shake off interest from the likes of Barcelona and Manchester City.
Manchester City enquired about Bellerin in the summer, but Arsenal were firm in their response and emphasised that he was not for sale.
The Arsenal right-back has quickly established himself as one of the most talented players in his position in Europe and it is no surprise that Wenger is keen to hold on to him.
Bellerin is in high demand and Arsenal will want to start competing more both domestically and in Europe in order to keep him at the club, especially when a team like Barcelona, with all their successes, are interested.
Arsenal are also believed to be in contract negotiations with both Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez, as they aim to mount a serious challenge in both the Premier League and the Champions League this year.
Gunners fans will know that the best way to convince their stars to stay at the club is by winning trophies and they will be hoping that the team can produce after so many near misses.
