Bukayo Saka has put pen to paper on a new contract in an exciting development for Arsenal securing his stay at the club until 2027.
The talented England forward, who has been in exceptional form this season, scoring 14 goals and providing 11 assists, expressed his belief that Arsenal is the perfect environment for him to progress.
At just 21 years old, Saka has already amassed an impressive 178 appearances for the Gunners, and he has been an ever-present figure in their Premier League campaigns over the past two years.
Delighted with his contract extension, Saka shared his joy, stating, “I’m just really happy. There’s been a lot of talking, and it’s been a while, but I’m here now. I think this is the right club, the right place to make the next step. It’s a beautiful club – look where we are.”
Saka emphasized his personal ambitions and the drive to continuously push himself in every game, week in and week out.

Confident in his ability to become the best player he can be, Saka expressed his belief in the team’s potential, stating, “I really believe that we can achieve big things.”
The extension of Saka’s contract comes as a significant boost for Arsenal, as his previous deal was set to expire at the end of the 2023-24 season.
With the Gunners securing a spot in the Champions League next season after a six-year absence, Saka’s commitment to the club further strengthens their prospects for future success.
Reflecting on the club’s progress, Saka acknowledged the positive changes he has witnessed, highlighting the growth of both the team and the club.
Looking ahead, he expressed excitement about the club’s direction and the hunger among the young players to win trophies for Arsenal.
Saka’s belief in the team’s potential and their collective desire for success is a promising sign for Arsenal fans.
Manager Mikel Arteta expressed his delight at Saka’s contract extension, emphasizing the importance of retaining their best young talents.
Arteta described Saka as not only a fantastic talent but also a special person who is cherished by everyone at the club.
With Saka committing his future to Arsenal, the Gunners can now build on this positive momentum and strive for greatness with their talented young core.
The club and its fans eagerly anticipate the exciting journey ahead, as Saka continues to play a pivotal role in Arsenal’s pursuit of success both domestically and in European competitions.
