Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka is reportedly set to sign a new £15 million-a-year contract with the north London club soon.
A report from Daily Mail claims that Bukayo Saka will earn £15 million per season once he puts pen to paper on his new contract. The 21-year-old winger has been exceptional for Arsenal this season, and he is one of the main reasons why they are at the top of the Premier League table.
The talented young winger has established himself as one of the best young players in Europe, and he certainly deserves a pay rise. The 21-year-old has been a key player for his country as well. There is no doubt that he has been an indispensable asset for Arsenal. And the fans will be delighted with the club’s decision to sort out his long-term future.
The English international will pocket a weekly wage of around £300,000 after signing the renewal, and he will be the best paid player at the Emirates. Saka will also be one of the biggest earners in Arsenal’s history.
Previously, Mesut Ozil was the highest earner for Arsenal earning around £350,000 per week during his time at the Emirates. Saka has been linked with clubs like Manchester City in recent months. So Arsenal’s decision to offer him a lucrative contract and secure his long term future will prove to be a wise decision.
Apparently, the player has been convinced of the club’s progress under Mikel Arteta and has decided to continue his stay in north London. So it is hardly surprising that he is signing a £15 million-a-year deal soon.
The 21-year-old has 13 goals and ten assists across all competitions for Arsenal and will be hoping to continue his impressive run of form until the end of the season and guide his team to the league title. The last time Arsenal won the Premier League title was back in 2003/04. So they will be desperate to win a major trophy this year.
The Gunners are currently eight points clear at the top of the table, and they have been in rampant form in recent months. They will also be hoping to return to the Champions League next season after a long hiatus.
