The Latest Arsenal news: Bukayo Saka has agreed to a new deal with Arsenal
On Tuesday, Arsenal announced that Bukayo Saka has agreed to a new contract to extend his time at the Emirates. The forward from England played a crucial part in the team’s attempt to win the title this season, scoring 14 goals and giving 11 assists in all competitions, despite the team’s failure to win.
Saka became a member of Arsenal at the age of eight and has participated in every Premier League game for the team in the last two seasons.
“Dreams don’t come true overnight,” Saka said in Arsenal’s announcement on their social media channels.
“It takes time. This club has been a family to me since I was eight years old. It has given me everything and I have given everything back.”
Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, expressed his approval of the reported extension of Saka’s contract, which is expected to keep him in the north London team until 2027.
“Retaining our best young talents is key to our continued progress and Bukayo represents such an important part of our squad now and for the future,” said Arteta.
“As well as being a fantastic talent, Bukayo is a special person, he’s loved by us all and he is a credit to himself and his family for the hard work and commitment they have all made to get to this level today.”
For most of the season, Arsenal was leading the Premier League table, but towards the end, they faltered and Manchester City won their third title in a row.
