Bukayo Saka signs a new five-year contract with Arsenal

England winger Bukayo Saka has signed a new five-year contract with his club Arsenal Until 2031.

Sources told BBC Sport that the agreement would make Saka the club’s highest-paid player with a salary of more than £300,000 per week.

Talks over a new deal have been ongoing for almost a year, with Saka verbally agreeing to commit his future to the club in January.

Saka signed his previous contract, which was due to expire in 2027, in 2023, but its renewal means the 24-year-old has committed to his peak years with the Gunners.

This news comes as a huge boost for the Gunners, as they fight on four fronts to win silverware for the first time since 2020.

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.

Saka scored seven goals in 33 matches for the Gunners this season.

Mikel Arteta’s team leads the English Premier League by four points and will face Manchester City in the League Cup final in March.

The Gunners also qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League, in addition to the fifth round of the FA Cup.
