When it comes to seeing how important Bukaya Saka is to Arsenal, just look at the results when he’s not available on matchday. Two years ago, Arsenal extended their contract with the former academy player, and now it’s already time to bring the 23-year-old back to the negotiating room.
Saka’s contract runs until 2027, and there is no rush for the London club, one would think. Believe again. The giants are waiting for their opportunity to sign the England international, the development in the last two years since the last extension suggests that Saka’s position at Arsenal is even stronger, if possible.
According to BBC Sport, Arsenal have started the first talks with Saka’s representatives about an extension and improved conditions. The club management has no desire to wait for the rivals to position themselves towards 2027.
With 250 first-team appearances, 67 goals and 63 assists as a 23-year-old, there is no doubt that Saka will have to stay at the club for the next few years. Least.
