Saka new contract: England winger signs new five-year contract with Arsenal until 2031 making him the club's best-paid player
England winger Bukayo Saka has signed a new five-year contract with Arsenal until 2031.
Sources have told BBC Sport that the agreement will make Saka the club's best-paid player on wages in excess of £300,000 a week. Talks over a new deal have been ongoing for nearly a year, with Saka verbally agreeing to commit his future to the club in January.
Saka signed his previous deal, which was due to expire in 2027, in 2023 but his renewal means the 24-year-old has committed his peak years to the Gunners. Saka has scored seven goals in 33 appearances for the Gunners this term.
Mikel Arteta's side are four points clear at the top of the Premier League and they will face Manchester City in the EFL Cup final in March. The Gunners are also through to the the knockout stages of the Champions League, as well as the fifth round of the FA Cup.
The Gunners return to action at bottom-placed Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers on Wednesday evening (8pm GMT). Arsenal could go seven points clear of second-placed Manchester City before Pep Guardiola's men host Newcastle United on Saturday.
