Bukayo Saka has backed Arsenal to “get over the line” and win trophies again after signing a new four-year contract that makes him the Gunners’ best-paid player.<\/p>\n

Saka’s previous deal had been due to expire in June 2027 but he has now committed his future to the Gunners until 2030.<\/p>\n

The England international has become a key player for his boyhood club under Mikel Arteta, playing more minutes than any other Arsenal player since the manager’s appointment in 2019.<\/p>\n

In total, he has made 296 appearances for the Gunners, scoring 77 goals, including eight in 34 games in all competitions this season.<\/p>\n

He scored in Wednesday’s 2-2 draw at Wolves as Arsenal dropped more points in the Premier League title race, but the Gunners still lead the way by five points and after Saka had penned his new deal, he reiterated his desire to win silverware.<\/p>\n

Saka said: “I’m feeling amazing. I think it’s a fantastic moment for my family and for me. I feel immense joy to continue my journey at this club. For me, it was an easy commitment and I just hope to win everything here.<\/p>\n

“The journey that I’ve been on, from where I started to where I am now, and the journey the team’s been on as well, is a special one. I believe the next few years are going to be the years that we get over the line, and we’re able to win trophies and make history for this club. We’re back where we belong, fighting for everything.”<\/p>\n

Saka has made crucial contributions to Arsenal’s title challenges in recent seasons, most notably in 2023\/24, when he scored 20 goals and provided 16 assists in all competitions as the Gunners finished two points behind Manchester City in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

While Saka will be targeting a first Premier League title this season, they are also on course for the quadruple, having reached the Carabao Cup final, the FA Cup fifth round and the last 16 of the Champions League.<\/p>\n

Arsenal have tied several players down to new contracts in recent months, with William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly also committing their futures to the club.<\/p>\n

Saka, like Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly, is a product of Arsenal’s Hale End academy, having joined the club at the age of seven.<\/p>\n

Saka firmly among Premier League’s best<\/h3>\n

Analysis by Sky Sports’ Nick Wright:<\/em><\/p>\n

Arsenal spent close to \u00a3300m on new signings during the summer transfer window but securing Saka’s future might be their most significant piece of business this season.<\/p>\n

The academy product has become a talismanic figure for the club. He captains the side in the absence of Martin Odegaard and continues to be crucial to their attack, with Arsenal consistently looking to him to unlock games against stubborn opponents.<\/p>\n

His output has dipped this season but no player can claim to have been more influential under Arteta. In addition to making more Premier League appearances than any of his team-mates under the Spaniard, he ranks top for goals, assists, shots and chances created, underlining his all-round threat.<\/p>\n

There is no doubting his status among the Premier League’s elite. Since the start of the 2021\/22 campaign, he has a combined total of 92 goals and assists in 159 games. Only Mohamed Salah, Erling Haaland and Ollie Watkins have contributed more goal involvements in that timeframe.<\/p>\n

His groin injury was a significant factor in Arsenal’s drop-off last season but Arsenal will hope his goal in the draw against Wolves signals a return to top form. The squad is deeper for the summer recruitment but Saka remains vital, his future at the club assured.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
