Arsenal starlet Emile Smith Rowe is reportedly set for a new and improved deal following his breakthrough in Mikel Arteta's side.
The 20-year-old has become a nailed-on starter for the Gunners after several confident displays in the number 10 role, where he has contributed one goal and three assists in the Premier League and FA Cup since Boxing Day.
Smith Rowe still has two-and-a-half years left to run on his current Arsenal contract, but the playmaker reportedly earns a modest wage of £15k per week in North London at the moment.
According to the Daily Mail, Arsenal will reward Smith Rowe's performances with a new long-term deal worth £40k per week, and the Gunners are confident that he will pen fresh terms.
Despite Smith Rowe's recent emergence, the Gunners are supposedly still interested in a deal for Norwich City playmaker Emiliano Buendia, with Mesut Ozil in Turkey to finalise a move to Fenerbahce.
Smith Rowe has also made a trio of appearances in the 2020-21 Europa League, bagging one goal and two assists in continental competition.
Report: Manchester United want Argentina international Facundo Medina

Manchester United are reportedly showing a serious interest in Lens left-back Facundo Medina.
The 21-year-old, who is also comfortable playing at centre-back, only joined the French side from Talleres in a £3m deal last summer.
Having impressed in his first Ligue 1 campaign for mid-table Lens, La Voix du Nord claims that United are keeping a close eye on the youngster.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is said to be after defensive reinforcements and the club may back the Norwegian with a £10m offer for Medina.
Any deal could be dependent on the one-cap Argentina international returning to Lens on loan for the season, it is claimed, similar to the arrangement agreed between Arsenal and Nice for William Saliba.
