Saka's previous terms were set to expire in the summer of 2027 after he signed a four-year extension back in 2023. Whilst Saka would have had plenty of suitors had the Gunners not made their move to tie down their star asset, the Arsenal vice-captain seemed only to be interested in committing his future to the Premier League leaders.
After an initial breakthrough in talks over a new deal came to light in January, Saka verbally agreed to become the club's highest earner by signing new terms last month.
Saka becomes the latest example of Arsenal avoiding any difficult conversations with senior players later down the line after the club extended the deals of William Saliba, Gabriel, Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly last summer.
The Arsenal star broke into the first-team fold under former boss Unai Emery in 2019 and scored his first goal for the club in a 3-0 Europa League away win at Eintracht Frankfurt.
He has since become a stalwart in the Arsenal team, playing a key role in the club's return to the Champions League after spending six years away from Europe's elite competition.
This season, however, Saka has struggled for form in front of goal. Netting just seven times from 33 appearances for the Premier League leaders, he would have hoped for a more fruitful campaign as Arsenal bid to win their first league title since 2004.
Saka operated in a more central role alongside Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze in the 4-0 win over Wigan on Sunday.
He is widely expected to lead England alongside Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham to the World Cup in the summer as the Three Lions compete to win the tournament for the first time since 1966.
Saka has made 296 senior appearances for Arsenal, scoring 77 goals. He has also played for England 44 times, netting 14 goals.
