Arsenal Secure Bukayo Saka Until 2031 with Record-Breaking Five-Year Deal

Arsenal have reached a major milestone in their long-term project by tying down star winger Bukayo Saka to a new five-year contract, keeping the England international at the Emirates until 2031.

Deal Secures Club’s Brightest Talent

The 24-year-old Hale End academy graduate, who was entering the final 18 months of his previous deal expiring in 2027, has become Arsenal’s highest-paid player with wages reportedly surpassing £300,000 per week. Negotiations stretched nearly a year, with Saka giving a verbal commitment as early as January before penning the extension this month. Despite interest from Premier League rivals and European giants, Saka’s loyalty to his boyhood club never wavered.

Mikel Arteta hailed the news as a “huge boost,” completing his fifth major contract renewal alongside William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Ethan Nwaneri, and Myles Lewis-Skelly.

Saka’s Stellar Record Under Arteta

Since Arteta’s arrival in 2019, Saka has been the heartbeat of Arsenal’s revival, racking up 296 appearances, 77 goals, and pivotal moments like 20 goals and 16 assists during the 2023/24 title push. This season, despite a 15-game goalless run, he has notched 7 goals in 33 outings, helping Arsenal sit four points clear at the Premier League summit with strong cup progress.

Saka’s commitment signals Arsenal’s ambition, ending speculation and allowing focus on the title race. Fans can now dream of silverware with their talismanic winger locked in for years to come.
