Bukayo Saka Gets New Arsenal Deal Through 2031

Bukayo Saka has agreed terms on a new five-year deal with Arsenal. Saka's current contract runs until 2027, but the Gunners avoided any exit talk by striking quick. The homegrown winger has now agreed to extend his stay at the Emirates until the summer of 2031 with the Premier League leaders keen to reward the wideman's fine form with a long-term deal.

Saka has grown into one of Arsenal's most consistent performers since he made his debut for the north London side in 2018. In the time since, the 24-year-old has established himself as one of the Gunners' most important players, and the club are keen to build the team around the English winger.

The Arsenal star has scored four goals and provided an additional three assists for Mikel Arteta's men this season as they push for a first league title in over 20 years. A number of Premier League and European sides were monitoring Saka's situation at the Emirates Stadium, though his preference has always been to remain with his boyhood club.

The Gunners sit six points clear of second-placed Manchester City following their 0-0 draw with defending champions Liverpool on Thursday night. City have struggled to really keep on the coattails of Arteta's side, the Cityzens having failed to win their opening three games of 2026, held to stalemates with Sunderland, Chelsea and Brighton.

Saka follows in the footsteps of a number of Arsenal stars who have put pen to paper on new contracts recently. William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly have all extended their respective stays with Arteta's side over the last few months.

However, it is Saka's contract extension that is the biggest statement of intent from the club as they look to compete on multiple fronts.
