I'm really not sure to be honest. If I had to guess, I'd say it's his agent squeezing us for more £££, which I wouldn't begrudge after the season he had.
We have done plenty of poor business recently but we have been pretty good at tying down our talented youngsters. Martinelli, Saka and Balogun (who hasn't broken through yet) were all signed in the last year or two. From memory Saka's contract was much closer to running out so I was a lot more worried about it.
Whatever you think about where we are as a club, it's a pretty good place for a young player to play at the minute I think.
