Details of New Saka Deal
The Gunners have worked hard to ensure the current squad will stay for many years. They gave a new long-term deal to Gabriel Martinelli earlier this season after watching him excel in the Premier League. Now, they’re ready to keep the player that is arguably their biggest asset in the squad.

Romano adds that Saka’s new contract will be a five-year deal that will be valid until June 2028. It’s also stated that it’s only a matter of time before the deal is made official as the Englishman agreed to the terms of the new contract almost two months ago, with no changes to the agreement ever since. The Gunners are expected to announce the contract extension imminently, which is guaranteed to be celebrated wildly within the Arsenal fanbase because of how popular he is now.
Saka Enjoying Prolific Season With Arsenal
The 21-year-old winger has been one of the best players in the Premier League this season and played a major role in helping the Gunners challenge strongly in the title race against Manchester City. Saka has scored 13 goals and provided 11 assists for Arsenal, featuring in every one of their 35 Premier League matches this season.

He’s been praised as “phenomenal” for having such an impressive season. Saka, who reportedly earns £70k-per-week thanks to his latest Arsenal contract, is also set to be in line to become Arsenal’s highest-paid player with a whopping salary of £300k-per-week thanks to his latest deal. Irrespective of whether that is the case or not, Arsenal fans will love to have a skilful, impactful player like Saka for years to come and hope he can keep them competing for (and winning) major trophies going forward.
