Bukayo Saka, a winger for Arsenal and England, has agreed to a new four-year contract with the Gunners. Saka, 21, is the first player in the Premier League to have double-digit goal and assist totals this season. His new contract with Arsenal runs through 2027.

Saka’s outstanding campaign for Arsenal also earned him nominations for the Premier League Player of the Season and Young Player of the Season honors. Saka has also committed his future to the north London club, joining Aaron Ramsdale and Gabriel Martinelli.
According to Saka, “I’m just really happy,” the Arsenal website. It’s been a long and there has been a lot of talking, but I’m finally here. I believe that joining this group and moving further here is the appropriate decision. Look at this gorgeous club; this is where we are.
