Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka signed a new five-year contract with the club on February 17, 2026. The deal committed the 24-year-old England international to the Emirates Stadium until 2031.
BBC Sport reported the agreement first. Sources confirmed that Saka became Arsenal’s best-paid player. His wages exceeded £300,000 per week.
The new contract replaced Saka’s previous deal, which expired in 2027. Arsenal rewarded the Hale End academy graduate for his consistent performances.
Talks between Saka’s representatives and Arsenal officials lasted nearly a year. Saka verbally agreed to the extension in January 2026. He formally signed the documents on Tuesday.
Manager Mikel Arteta received a significant boost from the commitment. Saka established himself as a key player since his breakthrough. Saka contributed seven goals and six assists in the current campaign. His form reinforced Arsenal’s decision to secure his long-term future.
The extension followed similar commitments from teammates such as William Saliba and Gabriel. Arsenal prioritized retaining core talents amid strong Premier League contention.
