He will receive a weekly salary of about £300,000 under the long-term contract through 2027.
Arsenal and Bukayo Saka have agreed to a new, lucrative contract.
According to the arrangement, which was made public by Mail Sport in February, his weekly salary will be close to £300,000. Bonuses and other incentives will also be included.
Arsenal has been trying to sign a group of young players this year, and Saka is one of them. Early in the year, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Magalhaes signed new contracts, and last week, goalie Aaron Ramsdale made an extension announcement.
When the new deal was officially announced, Saka expressed his joy at extending his tenure at the “beautiful club.”
‘I’m just really happy, I’m at the right place to make the next step. It’s a beautiful club and I’m just so happy,’ Saka began. ‘When I was at the Academy at Hale End, I was just a kid who wanted to play and enjoy, and obviously, as you get older it gets more and more serious.
‘It’s been a great journey with lots of hard work and I just kept that drive in me. When I made my first team debut, that’s when I really realised like ‘oh my gosh, I’ve really done it”. I’ve achieved that dream and its now about staying here and maintaining that.’
Saka continued that although it ‘hurt a lot’ to think about the end of this season, he had seen ‘a lot of positive change’ during his time in the first team.
‘One thing I can say is since the last two, three years I’ve been playing, I’ve seen this team and the club grow and we are going in the right direction,’ he added.

‘The supporters have been so good this year. Even when I see supporters out and away from the stadium, we have so much in common in terms of how passionate we are for this team.
‘I feel like some of the supporters I meet, if they could play, they would give everything, I can see it in their eyes when we are speaking. We are all really connecting more and you can feel it in the stadium’.
Both his boss Arteta and the club’s sporting director Edu received tremendous appreciation from the winger, demonstrating their confidence in him.
‘Mikel really cares about the players on a personal level. As a player you really connect with him’ Saka said. ‘Personally, Mikel has been so good for me. Since he’s come in I’ve improved so much and I’m so grateful to him.
‘Edu is great and is the person who helped me get my number 7. I couldn’t believe it, he just said, yeah ok we can give it to you, of course.
‘Those are one of those moments where I realised how much everyone at this club believed in me. It was such a nice moment.’
