Extending Contract, Bukayo Saka Aims for Success at Arsenal

– Midfielder Bukayo Saka has signed a new three-year contract at Arsenal or until 2027. The 21-year-old player is said to earn around £200,000 per week. That number could go up to £290,000 per week with additional bonuses.

“I am very happy. There has been a lot of talk and it has been quite a while, but I am here now. I think this is the right club, the right place to make the next step,” said Saka happily.

Saka has played a key role in the title race the Gunners this season, scored 13 goals and provided 11 assists in 37 Premier League matches.

Having previously won the FA Cup and Community Shield with his boyhood club, he is confident greater titles are coming his way.

“I think I have everything I need to be the best player that I can be. That’s why I’m excited to be here and to be here for the future, because I really believe we can achieve big things,” he continued.

The England international has made 178 appearances since making his debut for the north London club in November 2018.

Coach Mikel Arteta is delighted to see the winger commit to his future at the club. According to Arteta, maintaining young players will be good for Arsenal’s future.

“Retaining our best young talent is key to our continued progress and Bukayo is an important part of our current and future squad. As well as being a fantastic talent, Bukayo is someone special,” said Arteta.

“He was loved by all of us and he is a credit to himself and his family for the hard work and commitment they have made to get to this level today,” he added.

Saka becomes the second first-team player to extend his stay at the Emirates in recent days, following in the footsteps of goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
