Arsenal looks to be closing in on another two major announcements that would add further salt to Liverpool’s wounds at the moment. Mikel Arteta’s side has already taken a commanding lead in the race for the Premier League title this season.

A run of four straight league defeats has left Arne Slot’s side with a mountain to climb already at this early stage of the season, and while there is little sign of things improving at Anfield at the minute, it’s the opposite in north London. Having already secured new contracts for Ethan Nwaneri, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Gabriel Magalhaes during the summer, and William Saliba just last month, Arsenal looks set to tie down two more of its biggest players to new deals.

Arsenal then might not only be laying the groundwork to end its long wait for a title, but it could be getting a head-start on Liverpool for next season and beyond, with the Reds having their work cut out for them long before the summer arrives.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.
