Arsenal are reportedly ready to break their wage structure in a bid to keep Cesc Fabregas, while Gael Clichy is also set for a new deal.Young Spaniard Fabregas has been the subject of constant rumours surrounding his future at the club, with Barcelona and Real Madrid consistently sniffing around the midfielder.

However, the Daily Telegraph reports that Fabregas is set to sign a new deal with the Gunners, despite being only two years into an eight-year agreement signed in 2006.

The new deal is reportedly worth around £100,000-a-week, almost doubling his current £60,000-a-week contract.

Fears increased that Fabregas might choose to leave the Emirates Stadium after Mathieu Flamini signed for AC Milan, and Alex Hleb made his intentions to move to Italy clear earlier this week.

Fabregas's new contract seemingly breaks Arsenal's famous wage-structure, which they were unwilling to breach to secure the future of Flamini, showing their determination to keep him at the club.

Clichy is expected to put pen to paper on a new deal that will commit him to the club until 2012, extending his current deal by two years.

Clichy said: "We're at the end of our discussions. Everything's going well because my intention is clear: I want to stay at Arsenal.

"I would love to have a career here like Patrick Vieira or Thierry Henry, to stay many years at Arsenal and leave my mark on the club. I've been in London for five years. If everything goes well, I will stay here for at least eight years."

Clichy's current contract expires in 2010 and he added: "We're talking about a further two years. It's a superb plan to throw yourself into the future with this group here. I never hesitated, not at all. Arsenal is one of the great clubs in Europe."
