Sagna: Consistent performer
Bacary Sagna looks set to be offered a contract extension by Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
Mathieu Flamini has already agreed a deal to join Milan and there has been speculation that players such as Alexander Hleb may also be leaving.
Sagna has also reportedly attracted interest from the likes of Juventus, Barcelona and Real Madrid.
However, Wenger is keen to reward the Frenchman for an impressive first season at Emirates Stadium by tying him to a lucrative new deal.
According to France Football, Wenger is ready to offer Sagna a two-year extension to his present contract.
Sagna joined Arsenal from Auxerre last summer and has been one of the most consistent performers in Wenger's side this term.
His displays were recognised with a place in the PFA Team of the Year.
