Bukayo Saka has agreed a new long-term contract with Arsenal

Bukayo Saka has agreed a new long-term contract with… Arsenal.

It is understood the new contract will make the 24-year-old one of the club’s highest-paid players.

The agreement is the latest example of Arsenal tying down their key players to long-term contracts as they look to keep their title-chasing squad together.

William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis Skelly all signed new long-term contracts in the summer.

England international Saka has become a key player for the Gunners since making his debut in 2018, having come through the club’s Hale End academy.

Last season, Saka scored 12 goals and provided 13 assists in 37 matches, despite being sidelined for three months due to a hamstring injury that required surgery in December 2024.

Saka has been a constant figure at Arsenal. The 2023-24 season saw him step up as team captain for the first time and he ended up as the club’s top scorer with 20 goals.

He has impressed again this season, scoring seven goals and six assists in 27 matches so far.

Arsenal are set to end their wait for a trophy this season, currently sitting six points clear at the top of the Premier League with a 100% win record from their six Champions League matches so far.
