Bukayo Saka new contract: Arsenal winger agrees new long-term deal at Emirates Stadium | Football News

Bukayo Saka has agreed to a new five-year contract at Arsenal.

Saka, whose previous deal was due to expire in June 2027, is finalising a new and improved package until 2031.

Sky Sports News understands clubs across the Premier League and Europe were monitoring his situation at Arsenal but the player’s preference has always been to remain at the Emirates Stadium.

The England international has become a key player for his boyhood club under Mikel Arteta, playing more minutes than any other Arsenal player since the manager’s appointment in 2019.

In total, he has made 290 appearances for the Gunners, scoring 77 goals, including seven in 27 games in all competitions this season.

Saka has made crucial contributions to Arsenal’s title challenges in recent seasons, most notably in 2023/24, when he contributed 20 goals and 14 assists in all competitions as the Gunners finished two points behind Manchester City in the Premier League.

Arsenal have 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.

Saka, like Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly, is a product of Arsenal’s Hale End academy having joined the club at the age of seven.
