England winger Bukayo Saka has signed a new five-year contract with Arsenal, keeping him at the club until 2031.

Reports in the UK say the new deal makes Saka the Gunners’ highest-paid player, earning around FJ$870,000 weekly.

The 24-year-old, who came through Arsenal’s academy, has scored seven goals in 33 appearances this season and has 57 Premier League goals in 217 matches.

Arsenal are currently four points clear at the top of the Premier League and will also feature in the EFL Cup final in March, while competing in the Champions League and FA Cup.

Saka has also scored 14 goals in 48 appearances for England and is expected to feature in the upcoming World Cup under coach Thomas Tuchel.
