Bukayo Saka has officially signed a new contract with Arsenal, bringing relief and joy to Gunners supporters and manager Mikel Arteta. The announcement on Tuesday confirmed that the deal has been successfully completed, providing a significant boost to the club’s ambitions of competing for major trophies in the near future.
As previously reported by football.london, negotiations regarding Saka’s future had been progressing positively for some time. An agreement in principle was reached back in February for a new long-term contract, ensuring the 21-year-old’s stay at Arsenal for the foreseeable future.
It can now be disclosed that Saka’s hard work on and off the pitch has been duly recognized, as he has officially committed to a four-year contract with the club. The deal is reported to be worth a minimum of £200,000 per week, with the potential to rise to £300,000 per week through bonuses. This makes him the highest-paid player at Arsenal.
Saka’s contributions have been outstanding, with 13 goals and 11 assists in all competitions this season. His talent and potential make him a key player for Arsenal in the years ahead. Fans will undoubtedly be thrilled to learn that he has put an end to any speculation surrounding a potential move to Liverpool or Manchester City.
Moreover, Saka has expressed his aspirations of playing in the UEFA Champions League, and signing a new contract with Arsenal allows him to pursue this dream. The Gunners have secured a top-two finish in the Premier League, guaranteeing their return to Europe’s premier club competition.
“I believe the Champions League provides countless special moments, and it is still my dream to experience them, hopefully on numerous occasions,” Saka stated in an interview with Sky Sports last year.
