Bukayo Saka is set to become one of the most expensive players in Arsenal's history, as he has agreed a lucrative five-year contract extension. The England forward, who was previously worth around £200,000 per week, will now take home an estimated £300,000 weekly income, making him one of the elite earners in Europe.
The 24-year-old Saka, who joined Arsenal from Hale End academy as a seven-year-old, has been instrumental in the team's recent success, including their six-point lead at the top of the Premier League. His representatives have secured a deal that will keep him at the club until 2032, when he'll be approaching his 30th birthday.
Saka's new contract is a significant coup for Arsenal's sporting director Andrea Berta, who prioritized securing the future of key players in recent months. The team has already tied down several other young players to long-term deals, and Saka's agreement will likely take his earnings beyond £15m per season.
The deal is seen as a major investment in one of England's most promising young talents, with Arsenal hoping to secure his long-term commitment after expressing enthusiasm for the player's role within the club. Manager Mikel Arteta had previously stated that he would love Saka to commit his future to the team, and it appears that the deal will provide him with a platform to continue growing as a player.
However, not all of Arsenal's attention is focused on Saka at present. The team are also keen to reward Declan Rice with an improved deal, following the midfielder's increasing influence on the pitch. Meanwhile, interest in signing Marc Guéhi from Crystal Palace has grown, but it remains unclear whether Arsenal will be able to secure a deal for the defender this month.
As Arsenal continue to build their squad, several key players are set to undergo medicals or scans as they look to overcome injuries and get back to full fitness.

but at the end of the day, it's all about makin u happy & fulfillin ur potential, & if Bukayo Saka wants 2 be @ Arsenal 4 the next 5 yrs, who can argue w/ him? 
just think about it, £300k a week is insane! 
saka's gonna be one of the highest paid players in europe, no doubt he'll continue to do great things for arsenal 
but 15m a season? that's crazy talk 
and marc guéhi's future is anyone's guess 
this is getting interesting 
. Can't wait to see Saka grow as a player and lead Arsenal to even more success 
!
. Plus, I'm not convinced Saka's worth that much more than what he was earning before - is it really worth £100k a week more just because of his age? 
but £300k a week is crazy! I mean, I get it's a testament to his skills but what about the team's wage cap? Doesn't that come into play when he's getting paid more than some of the top players in Europe? 
Only time will tell!
. I mean, £300k/week is insane! Can't blame Bukayo Saka for taking advantage of his value though, he's been killing it on the pitch and deserves it 
?
What's the next thing, him signing a lifetime contract and getting a team of personal trainers to run around with him on the pitch? 
. also, i'm lowkey surprised they secured him 2 such a long deal, 2032 is like, ages away from now, but u can't put a price on talent
