24yo will be made highest earner at Arsenal following talks with his agents
Arsenal are confident Bukayo Saka will sign a new deal following talks with him and his representatives, according to Con Harrison.
The scout and Gunners insider, who has been featured on the BBC and The Overlap and is followed by the likes of Ben Jacobs, Jacob Steinberg and Darren Lewis on X (formerly Twitter) claimed today that the 24-year-old will be made the highest earner at the North London club.
Saka is out of contract in the summer of 2027, but talks have been ongoing over an extension for many months.
The Arsenal star is expected to put pen to paper very soon, and an official announcement could be made confirming the news anytime.
Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Magalhaes, Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly have signed new deals in recent months, and Saka is next from the look of things.
He has been a key player for the Gunners since making his debut in November 2018, initially establishing himself at left-back before going on to become one the best wingers on the planet.
Saka is currently the sixth-highest earner at Arsenal, with his take-home of £195,000 per week behind Viktor Gyökeres (£200,000), Declan Rice (£240,000), Martin Ødegaard (£240,000), Gabriel Jesus (£265,000) and Kai Havertz (£280,000).
He deserves to be the highest earner at the club, and his new deal could see him take home more than £300,000 per week.
William Saliba is also out of contract in 2027 and Real Madrid are hoping to lure him to Spain next summer or in 2027 as a free signing.
Arsenal are also in talks with the France international centre-back over an extension, and it is believed they are close to getting him to agree to fresh terms.
He will also be seeing his weekly £190,000 wages bumped up, and the club could announce both deals on the same day.
