Bukayo Saka Set To Sign New Arsenal Contract Until 2030

Arsenal are on the verge of securing one of the most important signatures of their modern era, as reports indicate that Bukayo Saka is set to sign a new long-term contract that will keep him at the Emirates Stadium until 2030. The deal is said to be in its “final stages,” with both parties optimistic that an agreement will be formally sealed before the end of the year.

According to RMC Sport, an extension has already been structured between the club and Saka’s camp. Although his current deal runs until 2027, Arsenal are eager to lock down their star winger for an additional three years as part of their broader long-term project under Mikel Arteta.

For Saka, whose journey began at Arsenal at the age of seven, this is another chapter in a remarkable rise from Hale End to world-class status. The England international has become a central figure in the Gunners’ evolution and remains one of the most influential players in the Premier League.

Earlier this year, Saka openly expressed his desire to win major trophies with Arsenal. He said:
“I want to win and I want to win wearing this badge. The fans know how much I love them, and they showed me that love again on Tuesday. I am really happy to be here and I am focused on winning. I have two years left on my contract, so it’s relaxed. Everyone knows my thoughts, and I’ve made it clear.”

Saka already has one FA Cup title to his name from 2020, though he was an unused substitute in the final. With Arsenal currently sitting top of both the Premier League and Champions League standings, he is eyeing more silverware in the current campaign.

This new deal will also mirror the extension recently signed by William Saliba, who committed his future to the club earlier this season. Arteta praised the defender’s growth, maturity, and influence, emphasizing the importance of keeping his best young talents together.

Sporting director Andrea Berta also highlighted Saliba’s world-class qualities, noting that the Frenchman is one of the best defenders in the game today.

Arsenal are believed to be working on additional extensions, with Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber next on the list as the club aims to secure the spine of its future.

For now, the Gunners’ faithful can breathe a little easier—Bukayo Saka looks set to stay, and Arsenal’s long-term project continues to take shape.
