Bukayo Saka has signed a new five year term deal at Arsenal after the verbal agreement reached months ago.
According to a post on his verified X handle, football transfer expert, quoting @SamiMokbel_BBC reports, said the agreement will make Saka the club’s best-paid player on wages in excess of £300,000 a week.
Saka signed his previous deal, which was due to expire in 2027, in 2023 but his renewal means the 24-year-old has committed his peak years to the Gunners. The news comes as a major boost for the Gunners, as they battle 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. Saka has scored seven goals in 33 appearances for the Gunners this term.
He made his first-team debut as a 17-year-old in 2018 after coming through Arsenal’s academy and has gone on to make 217 Premier League appearances, scoring 57 goals.
Saka has scored 14 goals in 48 appearances for England and is expected to be part of Thomas Tuchel’s squad for the World Cup which begins in June.
