Bukayo Saka has reached a major milestone at Arsenal, becoming the first player at the club to earn over £300,000 per week, Softfootball reports.
The new contract is a reward for his consistent world-class performances and his commitment to the Gunners, Transfer News Live posted on their official X handle. This deal cements Saka’s status as Arsenal’s talisman and highlights the club’s strategy of locking down key young talents like Saliba, Nwaneri, and Gabriel on long-term contracts until 2031.
Saka’s new deal makes him Arsenal’s highest earner, reflecting his immense value to the team. The contract running until 2031 shows the club’s long-term vision, securing core players for years to come. This follows extensions for other young stars, signaling Arsenal’s intent to build around a strong, talented homegrown core.
As an academy graduate, Saka’s rise demonstrates the club’s commitment to rewarding players developed in-house. Securing him also prevents interest from other top clubs and strengthens Arsenal’s position as a major force in the Premier League, as further highlighted when fans voted Saka Player of the Match after an impressive performance.
This deal isn’t just about wages; it’s a clear statement of Arsenal’s ambition. By keeping Saka, the club shows they are willing to invest heavily in their best players to maintain a competitive, trophy-contending squad.
The move boosts morale and sends a strong message to fans and rivals alike. Saka himself acknowledged the responsibility, saying, ‘I’ve grown into the responsibility of leading this team,’ signaling his readiness to guide Arsenal into a bright future.
