Bukayo Saka has agreed a new long-term contract with Arsenal that will see the 24-year-old become one of the club’s highest-paid players. The deal is part of Arsenal’s efforts to secure the futures of key members of their squad, following new contracts for William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Ethan Nwaneri, and Myles Lewis-Skelly.
Saka, whose previous contract was set to run until June 2027, is finalising improved terms that will keep him at the Emirates Stadium until 2031.
The England international has grown into a central figure at his boyhood club under manager Mikel Arteta, having played more minutes than any other Arsenal player since the Spaniard’s appointment in 2019. He has made 290 appearances for the Gunners, scoring 77 goals.
This season, Saka has scored seven goals in 27 appearances across all competitions. He has been instrumental in Arsenal’s recent title pushes, notably during the 2023/24 campaign when he produced 20 goals and 14 assists in all competitions as the club finished just two points behind Manchester City in the Premier League.
Last season, he recorded 12 goals and 13 assists in 37 games, despite missing three months with a hamstring injury that required surgery in December 2024. So far this term, Saka has added seven goals and six assists in 27 matches, highlighting his continued importance to Arsenal’s ambitions.
