Arsenal player wages: How much do Saka, Lacazette, Odegaard and rest of squad earn?
Bukayo Saka has been a revelation for Arsenal over the past few years.
The Englishman, who joined Arsenal at the age of 7, made his debut for the club in 2018 as a 17-year-old.
Saka’s ability was clear to see right from the outset and he has only got better and better as the years have gone by.
As well as being a key part of Gareth Southgate’s England side, Saka has also established himself as one of Arsenal’s most important players.
He’s been brilliant in the 2021/22 season, scoring 10 times in 33 games as Arsenal look set for a return to the Champions League.
There are doubts about Saka’s future, however.
The 20-year-old’s current contract runs out in 2023, although Arsenal do have an option to extend it by a further year.
Given Saka is one of the most talented youngsters in world football, there will be no shortage of suitors should he decide not to sign a new contract.
But Arsenal are determined to keep their star man at the club. They are so determined that, according to the Sun, they are prepared to quadruple his wages.
Saka is believed to be earning £30,000-per-week at the club. The Gunners are ready to offer him a £125,000-per-week deal, which would put him alongside the club’s highest earners.
