Festus Chuma 09:34 - 29.10.2025

The Reds are closely monitoring developments as Arsenal move to secure Bukayo Saka’s future with a new long-term contract extension.

Bukayo Saka is once again at the centre of attention at Arsenal not for his dazzling performances on the pitch this time but for what could be a crucial development off it. 

The England international, who has become one of the most influential players in Mikel Arteta’s side, is in talks over a new long-term contract that would keep him at the Emirates Stadium well beyond 2027.

Since breaking through the ranks at Hale End, Saka has developed into one of the Premier League’s elite wingers, a consistent performer and leader who embodies Arsenal’s modern identity.

With Saka now entering the final 18 months of his current deal, Arsenal have accelerated efforts to secure his commitment amid growing interest from Europe’s top clubs. 

Sources close to the club suggest negotiations have been progressing smoothly, reflecting mutual intent between the player and the hierarchy to extend his stay.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, discussions between Saka and Arsenal have been encouraging over the past week.

"Arsenal are progressing well in talks with Bukayo Saka and his camp over a new contract. Salary details are being discussed, but all parties involved are aligned and convinced to move forward together. Talks were already underway before the summer window, proceeding well."

Romano’s update will be music to the ears of Arsenal supporters who have watched Saka grow into one of the best wingers in world football.

 The club has made retaining its young core a top priority, and Saka sits at the heart of that vision.

 Having already tied down key players such as William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Ethan Nwaneri, and Myles Lewis-Skelly in recent months, the Gunners are now close to completing what could be their most significant piece of business yet.

Sources indicate that Saka’s new deal would make him one of the highest-paid players not just at Arsenal but across the Premier League. 

At just 24 years old, Saka has already become a central figure for both club and country. His influence extends beyond goals and assists; he represents the resilience and ambition of an Arsenal side that has risen from uncertainty to title contention under Mikel Arteta’s guidance. 

A Future Built Around Hale End Brilliance

Sporting director Edu Gaspar, along with the technical team, has been instrumental in securing long-term contracts for Arsenal’s young stars. 

If all goes to plan, Bukayo Saka’s new contract will be more than just a renewal — it will be a statement of Arsenal’s ambition, loyalty, and belief in the bright future that began at Hale End.
