Bukayo Saka signs new five-year contract to become Arsenal’s top earner
Bukayo Saka has signed a new five-year contract with Arsenal, extending his stay at the club until 2031.
Saka’s previous deal had been due to expire in June 2027 but he has now committed his future to the Gunners until 2030.
The England international has become a key player for his boyhood club under Mikel Arteta, playing more minutes than any other Arsenal player since the manager’s appointment in 2019.
“I’m feeling amazing. I think it’s a fantastic moment for my family and for me. I feel immense joy to continue my journey at this club. For me, it was an easy commitment and I just hope to win everything here,” he said in an interview to club media.
“The journey that I’ve been on, from where I started to where I am now, and the journey the team’s been on as well, is a special one.
“I believe the next few years are going to be the years that we get over the line, and we’re able to win trophies and make history for this club. We’re back where we belong, fighting for everything.”
Saka will be targeting glory with Arsenal still hunting Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup silverware this season. The 2020 FA Cup remains the only trophy he was won in his time at the club.
The 24-year-old is the latest Arsenal player to commit his future to the club, with William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães both having signed long-term contracts in the past year.
