The pair want upwards of £300,000-a-week and will not budge, believing that they are Arsenal's biggest stars - and you will not find many Gunners fans arguing with that.

But Miles is positive they can come to agreements with the aces, who have netted 22 goals between them this term.

He said: "Of course, we know talks are ongoing with certain players and certain contracts.

Arsenal could go top if they beat Everton this evening at Goodison Park with top-placed Chelsea not facing Sunderland until Wednesday.

"I know he's already looking for opportunities to strengthen the squad."
