Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has signed a new long-term contract at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners forward will reportedly become the club's best-paid player on £300,000 a week.
football.londonreported in January that the England international had agreed a new five-year deal. It is understood that tying down the player to a new deal had been Arsenal's priority, with talks also expected to take place over extending the contracts of Jurrien Timber and Declan Rice.
And the club's ambition under Mikel Arteta has seen Saka, 24, commit the most important years of his career to the north London club. It follows new long-term deals being signed by William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly last summer, with sporting director Andrea Berta keen to keep the club's best talent.
Saka has scored seven goals in 33 appearances for the Gunners so far this season as the club chase a first Premier League title since 2004. Arsenal sit four points clear at the top with 12 games to go.
Arteta's team are also through to the knockout stages of the Champions League, as well as the fifth round of the FA Cup where they will travel to League One side Mansfield Town next month.
The Gunners return to action at bottom-placed Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers on Wednesday evening (8pm GMT). Arsenal could go seven points clear of second-placed Manchester City before Pep Guardiola's men host Newcastle United on Saturday.
And Arteta has spoken in his pre-match press conference about Saka's new role as a No.10 in his side and the relationship he has on the pitch with winger Noni Madueke.
He said: "I think he does and everything that brings a challenge to him and he needs to prove something. I think it takes something from him and I think it's something positive.
