Bukayo Saka agrees to new contract with Arsenal, securing his future with the team.
Bukayo Saka has finalized a new contract to remain at Arsenal, with sources informing ESPN that the agreement extends until 2030.
Saka’s former contract was set to conclude in 2027, but — as initially reported by ESPN in January — he signed new terms on Thursday to prolong his association with the club.
No player has accumulated more minutes under Mikel Arteta’s leadership at Arsenal than Saka, who is a product of the academy.
He has emerged as a pivotal player for his childhood club, while also securing a regular spot in the England national team. Since his first-team debut in 2018, the forward has netted 78 goals in 297 matches for the club.
“I’m feeling fantastic. I think this is a wonderful moment for my family and me. I feel great joy to continue my journey at this club. For me, it was an easy decision, and I just hope to achieve everything here,” he stated in an interview with club media.
“The path I’ve taken, from where I began to my current position, along with the team’s journey, is a remarkable one.
“I am confident that the upcoming years will be the ones where we succeed and win trophies, making history for this club. We are back where we should be, competing for everything.”
Saka will be aiming for success with Arsenal, which is still pursuing Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and Carabao Cup titles this season. The 2020 FA Cup remains the sole trophy he has secured during his time at the club.
He has become an integral member of the leadership group at Arsenal and has donned the captain’s armband on several occasions this season.
The 24-year-old is the latest player from Arsenal to secure his future with the club, following William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães, who both signed long-term contracts in the past year.
