Bukayo Saka has signed a new contract at Arsenal, extending his commitment to the club until 2027 and injecting their flagging Premier League season with a sizeable shot of positivity.

There had been little doubt in recent months that Saka, an academy product who has become arguably the leading light in Mikel Arteta’s young side, would agree new terms. The 21-year-old will secure a significant pay increase on his existing deal, signed in 2020, ensuring his place in Arsenal’s pay scale is commensurate with his impact on their rise under Arteta.
