Bukayo Saka has agreed a new five-year contract with Arsenal that will make him one of the highest-paid players in the club’s history. The England international’s new deal is set to run until 2031 and is expected to be confirmed soon. It is understood the agreement will raise Saka’s salary to around £300,000 a week, reflecting his importance to the team. Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta prioritised securing Saka’s future after renewing key contracts last year. Manager Mikel Arteta has repeatedly praised Saka’s commitment and influence since joining the club aged seven. Arsenal are also considering an improved deal for Declan Rice, while interest in Marc Guéhi is more likely to materialise in the summer.
