Bukayo Saka has signed a new five-year contract with Arsenal, keeping him at the club until 2031. The 24-year-old winger's previous deal was due to expire in June 2027, but Arsenal moved early to secure his future amid interest from clubs in England and across Europe.
The new contract makes Saka the highest-paid player in Arsenal's history, with wages exceeding £300,000 per week. 'I'm feeling amazing. I think it's a fantastic moment for my family and for me. I feel immense joy to continue my journey at this club,' Saka told the official club website.
Saka has made 239 appearances for Arsenal, scoring 78 goals. This season, he has netted seven times in 34 matches, including a recent strike against Wolves in a 2-2 draw. The England international has also scored 14 goals in 48 appearances for his country and is expected to feature in Thomas Tuchel's squad for the World Cup starting in June.
The academy graduate is a fan favourite and captains the side in the absence of Martin Odegaard. He ranks top for goals, assists, shots and chances created, underlining his importance on the right wing. Saka joins William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly in signing new long-term deals with the club.
'When I reflect at the end of my career, I want to be able to look back and see a kid that started aged seven, eight years old on trial for Arsenal and then went the whole way to win every trophy that there is available to win,' Saka added.
