Bukayo Saka commits long-term future to Arsenal

Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka has signed a new long-term contract, committing his future to the club in a four-year contract until 2030.

Saka’s contract with the Gunners was due to expire in 2027; however, an improved deal and an extension have always been on the cards since last season to secure his stay at the Emirates Satdium.

Earlier in the year, renowned journalist David Ornstein broke the news that Saka had agreed to a five-year improved contract at Arsenal.

The 24-year-old has signed a new four-year contract that makes him the Gunners’ best-paid player.

The England international has been pivotal to Arsenal’s project under Mikel Arteta, playing more minutes than any other Arsenal player since the manager’s appointment in 2020.

The Arsenal winger has made 296 appearances for the Gunners, scoring 78 goals, including eight in 34 games in all competitions this season.

He scored in Wednesday’s 2-2 draw at Wolves as Arsenal dropped more points in the Premier League title race, taking his tally this season to 5 goals in 23 games, while recording 4 assists in the process.

Speaking after the contract extention, Saka said: “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.

“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.”

While Saka chases his first Premier League title this season, Arsenal are firmly on course for a potential quadruple — already in the Carabao Cup final, through to the FA Cup fifth round, and into the Champions League last 16.

Arsenal has tied several players down to new contracts in recent months, with William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Ethan Nwaneri, and Myles Lewis-Skelly also committing their futures to the club.
