Bukayo Saka signs new five-year deal at Arsenal
Bukayo Saka agreed to stay at Arsenal until 2031 with wages above £300,000 weekly, securing the club's top earner status amid their title challenge, officials said.
- Sources told BBC Sport that Arsenal confirmed Bukayo Saka has signed a five-year deal until 2031, making him the club's highest-paid player earning over £300,000 a week.
- After nearly a year of talks, Saka had 18 months left on his deal and verbally agreed in January to stay at Arsenal, despite interest from Europe's major clubs.
- On Tuesday, Saka has made 217 Premier League appearances and scored 57 goals, with 48 goals in 116 England appearances this season.
- Ahead of the EFL Cup final in March, the deal is a major boost for Arsenal as they are four points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
- The move continues Arsenal's strategy of locking down talent, with Saka joining Gabriel Magalhaes, William Saliba, Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly in signing long-term deals to secure squad continuity.
