Catch all the latest Arsenal news, including updates on Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Magalhaes contract talks as well as Jakub Kiwior transfer.

The March international break is here and it represents a chance for Arsenal to take a step away from their busy schedule to regather the squad for the final push this season.

Several stars have jetted away to represent their nations, while a whole host of other players have stayed for one reason or another.

While Mikel Arteta will have one eye on the training ground, the other will be on how his international players perform this week.

So with that said, here’s a look at all the latest Arsenal news ahead of another busy day.

Bukayo Saka contract talks set to open

Arsenal are set to open concrete contract talks with Bukayo Saka over an extension to his current deal at the club.

That’s according to BBC Sport, with the report claiming that clubs across Europe are keeping tabs on the situation.

Jakub Kiwior transfer U-turn

Arsenal could let Jakub Kiwior leave in the summer transfer window, Arsenal Insider understands.

The defender was denied an exit over the recent January market, despite there being interest from Juventus at the time.

On a possible move, Graeme Bailey told Arsenal Insider: “I think Jakub Kiwior as an exit is quite likely. He’s been wanting to go back to Italy as we’ve known for quite a while and they can get good money for him.

“A lot of Serie A clubs would happily take him back so I think Arsenal will finally allow him to go this summer.”

Along with Bukayo Saka, BBC Sport reports that Arsenal have held talks with Gabriel Magalhaes about a possible contract extension.

The defender’s current deal expires in 2027, which could see him leave as a free agent if he is to let it dwindle.
