Wenger's current deal at the Emirates expires at the end of the season, but he revealed at the weekend there was "no big major doubt" over a successful conclusion to negotiations.
Mertesacker is also in talks over signing fresh terms at Arsenal, as is Sagna, who is out of contract in the summer.
New deals for Wenger and Mertesacker are close, but Sagna's situation is complicated because he is allowed to talk to other clubs.

Per Mertesacker
According to reports, the 30-year-old has told Arsenal that European giants Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Monaco, Bayern Munich and Galatasaray are all interested in his services.
Sagna is holding out for £100,000-a-week, but Wenger claimed earlier this month that the Gunners would "push very hard" to keep him.
Mertesacker has become a key player for Arsenal since joining from Werder Bremen in August 2011, and captained the side during their 2-1 victory over Aston Villa on Monday.

The 29-year-old made his 100th club appearance against Villa, but was not overly keen to celebrate the feat after the game.
"Not really - it is good to be in the team at the moment," he said.
"We are on a fine way and we need to keep going.
"It is not too important that a single player got his century."

Reported Arsenal injury news, Thomas Partey, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Reiss Nelson all captured in the update Arsena l midfielder Thomas Partey picked up an injury to his right thigh in training on Friday and did not feature in the 2-1 win over Fulham at the weekend. The club have described the problem as tightness in the muscle, rather than a pull or a tear, which indicates the Ghanaian international won’t be out of contention for too long. Oleksandr Zinchenko also missed the game on Saturday and it’s unlikely that he’ll be spending much time on the treatment table either. The Ukrainian international has a minor sprain in his left knee and he was left out for the Fulham match as a precaution. It would suggest that the defender will be available to face Aston Villa on Wednesday evening, while Partey may need a bit longer to recover. Fans will, though, be hoping he is back for the trip to play Manchester United next weekend. Reiss Nelson has not featured this campaign due to a muscular

Official: Runar Alex Runarsson signs for Arsenal

Arsenal have completed a deal to sign Runar Alex Runarsson from Dijon today, as confirmed by their official website. Runarsson joined Dijon from FC Nordsjaelland, and although he started as first choice, underwhelming performances saw him lose his place to Alfred Gomis. He played 45 games for the Ligue 1 side. His signing has been championed by goalkeeping coach Inaki Cana Pavon who worked with him in Denmark, and that relationship played a key part in Arsenal’s decision to bring him in. The goalkeeper will come in as replacement for Emiliano Martinez, who quit the club to join Aston Villa last week. Welcome to The Arsenal, Alex Runarsson 🔴 👋 @runaralex — Arsenal (@Arsenal) September 21, 2020 Football.London claims the goalkeeper has cost just £1 Million, which could well give us a much-needed boost to our finances as we look to strengthen our midfield, with strong links with both Houssem Aouar and Thomas Partey. Runarsson will wear the number 13 shirt this seas
