Arsenal have officially confirmed that their talismanic winger, Bukayo Saka, has signed a massive five-year contract extension. The deal, ensures the "Starboy"
remains at the Emirates Stadium until June 2030, making him the highest-paid player in the current squad
After nearly a year of intense negotiations, Saka has committed his peak years to his boyhood club. The new terms represent a significant pay rise from his previous £195,000-a-week agreement.
The timing of this signature is no coincidence. With Arsenal currently five points clear at the top of the Premier League and competing in the Champions League Round of 16, securing Saka was a priority for Sporting Director Berta and Manager Mikel Arteta. Both Real Madrid and Manchester City had been monitoring Saka's situation as he entered the final 18 months of his previous deal. This ends any transfer speculation for the near future.
Recently, he showcased a new dimension to his game, thriving in a central No. 10 role during cup fixtures. Arteta views him as the primary creative engine of the team's future.
Saka joins other key stars like William Saliba (signed until 2030) and Martin Ødegaard in committing to long-term projects, ensuring the core of the team stays together during their prime years.
