Saka is the highest-paid player at the Emirates Stadium. |
Saka has officially signed a new contract, committing to the Emirates Stadium until 2031. The deal is reportedly worth at least £78 million, making the England international the highest-paid player in the club.
Currently, Saka's salary exceeds £300,000 per week. The next highest-paid players include Kai Havertz (£275,000 per week), William Saliba (£250,000 per week), and Declan Rice (£225,000 per week).
Saka's previous contract was valid until 2027, but Arsenal quickly secured the 24-year-old star to keep him at the club during his peak career. A product of the Hale End academy, Saka was a key figure in the Gunners' dramatic resurgence, contributing significantly to their three consecutive second-place finishes in the Premier League.
To date, Saka has made 296 appearances for the first team, scoring 77 goals and providing 78 assists. He is likely to reach 300 caps for Arsenal this season.
Before Saka, Arsenal also extended the contracts of a number of players including William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly. This is seen as a major boost for manager Mikel Arteta in his ambition to win his first Premier League title in 22 years, and even aim for a quadruple.
Notably, Arteta is experimenting with Saka in the number 10 role due to a shortage of personnel in midfield. The Spanish manager highly values his player's adaptability and believes that new challenges further fuel Saka's desire to prove himself.
