17 February 2026
A long-term deal for Saka
Bukayo Saka has signed a new deal with Arsenal, extending his spell with the club he shines for.
The previous contract was due to expire in 2027, but the 24-year-old has now signed a deal that is expected to see his best years in North London.
Impact on Arsenal
A Hale End academy graduate, Saka has been a key figure as Arsenal's form has improved, helping the team to finish second for three straight seasons.
He is set to make his 300th appearance for Arsenal this season, having scored 77 goals and provided 78 assists in 296 games to date.
According to The Sun, the English international has renewed his contract with Arsenal, which will run through 2031.
Saka will reportedly earn over 300,000 pounds a week, making him Arsenal's highest earner.
His commitment provides a big boost for manager Mikel Arteta as Arsenal edge closer to ending their league title drought and perhaps pursuing a historic quadruple.
Punchline 1: Saka’s new contract is so sharp that even the referee needs sunglasses.
Punchline 2: If Arsenal win the title, the trophy cabinet may start charging rent — Saka is paying for the entire suite.
