The young Arsenal star Bukayo Saka will be rewarded with an extension which will earn him 10 million pounds a year.
Bukayo Saka was right to wait. And negotiate well. While tied to Arsenal until 2024, the 21-year-old winger is set to sign a new long-term deal with a huge pay rise. A just reward for the one who arrived at the age of 7 at the Academy and who became the great prodigy of the team.
Saka earned an annual salary of 10 million pounds, or 11.3 million euros. Only Gabriel Jesus and Thomas Partey exceed this symbolic bar of 10 million, the Brazilian striker recruited last year being the highest paid player (at nearly 14 million pounds).
The English international (24 caps, 7 goals), untenable in the quarter-final lost by the Three Lions against the France team at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, has 10 goals and 8 assists in 31 matches all competitions with the Gunners, leaders of the Premier League with 2 points ahead of Manchester City.
