Bukayo Saka has agreed a new five-year contract with Arsenal, committing his future to the club until the summer of 2031. The 24-year-old England international, who joined Arsenal's academy at the age of seven and made his senior debut in 2018, has become a cornerstone of Mikel Arteta's team.
This extension follows recent long-term deals for key players like William Saliba, Gabriel MagalhÃes, Ethan Nwaneri, and Myles Lewis-Skelly, underlining Arsenal's focus on building around homegrown talent and established stars.
Saka has been instrumental in Arsenal's recent Premier League title challenges. He has amassed over 290 appearances for the club, scoring 77 goals and providing numerous assists across all competitions. His consistent performances,
leadership on the pitch (often captaining the side), and contributions both domestically and for England have made him one of the most valuable players in the Premier League. Arsenal currently lead the league table, and securing Saka's long-term future represents a major statement of intent as they push for silverware in multiple competitions, including the Champions League.
How much money will Bukayo Saka earn at Arsenal?
The new deal marks a significant financial upgrade for Saka. His previous contract, signed in 2023 and running until 2027, was reportedly worth around £200,000 per week (or approximately £10.1 million annually, excluding bonuses). Reports from reliable sources indicate the fresh terms will see him become Arsenal's highest earner, surpassing the previous top salary held by Kai Havertz at around £280,000 per week.
Under the new agreement, Saka is expected to earn approximately £300,000 per week in basic salary. This equates to roughly £15.6 million per year. Over the full five-year duration of the contract, his basic earnings could total close to £80 million, positioning him among the elite earners in Europe and reflecting his status as one of the Premier League's leading talents.
This bumper deal rewards Saka's loyalty and pivotal role in Arsenal's revival. As the club eyes a first major trophy in years, Saka's commitment through his peak years signals bright prospects ahead for the Gunners.
