ARSENAL player BUKAYO SAKA looks set for a significant pay rise in a new contract despite the club seeking wage cuts among their squad due to the corona virus outbreak.

After a stand-off between the board and players, Arsenal are now set to agree a plan for players to take a 12.5 per cent pay cut due to lost revenue from the disruption caused by the pandemic.

Despite this agreement being made, SAKA will earn significantly more than his current 5,000 pounds-a-week wages when the new deal is signed.
