It has been revealed that Arsenal are not panicking over Bacary Sagna’s comments in France this week.
The Daily Mail reported that Arsenal are confident they will not be dragged into another long-running contract saga, despite Sagna casting doubt on his Gunners future.
Arsene Wenger has instructed the Gunners hierarchy to begin negotiations with the right-back’s representatives as soon as possible – and the club are confident he will put pen-to-paper.
Sagna currently earns around £60,000-per-week – but can expect a small salary increase if he agrees to an extension.
