Arsenal have secured the long-term future of Bukayo Saka, with the England winger agreeing to extend his stay at the club until June 2030, according to ESPN. The announcement marks the conclusion of negotiations that began in January, replacing his previous contract, which was set to run until 2027.
The new deal propels Saka into the ranks of the Premier League’s highest earners, with weekly wages exceeding £300,000. Only a handful of elite players—Erling Haaland, Mohamed Salah, Casemiro, and Virgil van Dijk—sit above him in the league’s salary hierarchy.

Under Mikel Arteta, Saka has become one of Arsenal’s most relied-upon players, consistently clocking the most minutes on the pitch. The 24-year-old academy graduate has developed into a key figure in the squad, both on and off the ball.
Speaking to the club’s media, Saka expressed his delight: “This is a special moment for me and my family. I am thrilled to continue my journey with this club. I want to achieve everything here and win as much as possible.”
While the 2020 FA Cup remains his only major trophy with Arsenal, the Gunners are currently competing on multiple fronts this season. They are in contention for honours across the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and Carabao Cup, reflecting a period of significant progress under Arteta.
Saka has also taken on leadership responsibilities, wearing the captain’s armband in several matches this season during Martin Ødegaard’s absence. His combination of talent, commitment, and maturity continues to make him an indispensable asset for Arsenal as they aim to challenge for domestic and European glory.
With this new contract, Saka not only solidifies his place at the heart of the Gunners’ plans but also sends a clear message: he is committed to helping Arsenal compete at the highest level for years to come.
