Bukayo Saka Arsenal contract renewal

Arsenal have received a massive boost with the news that Bukayo Saka has agreed to a new and improved five-year contract, committing his long-term future to the club until the summer of 2031.

The 24-year-old Hale End academy product, who joined Arsenal at the age of seven and made his senior debut in 2018, has been a cornerstone of Mikel Arteta’s side. His current deal was set to expire in June 2027, but after months of positive talks, fresh terms have now been agreed, recognizing Saka’s status as one of the Premier League’s and Europe’s elite talents.

This extension follows recent renewals for key players like William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Ethan Nwaneri, and Myles Lewis-Skelly, underlining Arsenal’s strategy to build a core group around homegrown stars and established performers.

Saka has been pivotal in Arsenal’s recent Premier League title challenges, delivering consistent goals and assists while thriving on the international stage with England. Ahead of the 2026 World Cup, this deal ensures stability and rewards his incredible contributions—over 250 appearances, 77 goals, and 78 assists for the Gunners.

The agreement comes at a perfect time, with Arsenal leading the Premier League and boasting a flawless record in the Champions League league phase this season. Saka’s leadership, work ethic, and ability to perform under pressure make him indispensable as the club aims for silverware.

This is a huge statement of intent from Arsenal, securing one of their most valuable assets amid interest from top European clubs. Fans can breathe easy knowing the “Starboy” is staying put to help drive the project forward.
