Glad the lad signed but too much money if you ask me
How much is he getting now?
300,000 apparently
200 and could rise to 300 per week
🤔🤔🤔
As some may say, it’s not our money
Same thing we said about ozil and aubameyang. Not a fan of such a young guy getting paid that much. Hoping it doesn’t go to his head. Martinelli is on 180000 which seems more realistic
290k is what I have read which seems out of place with Martinellis
What were you expecting? Saka is English. That says a lot
You seem to have a problem with English players dgr8xt – some might say bordering on hysteria!!
But it’s Arteta and Edu that gave the deal and we know they can be faultless
Maybe this deal is why he has played virtually every game 2 seasons in a row
Great !!!!!!!!
It seems, on the faceof it , to begood news. But I cannot help remembering and with ashudder too, how OZIL and Aubameyang effctively boith RETIRED on full pay AFTER SIGNING OBSCENELY HIGH PAID NEW CONTRACTS. However, my brain ,eyes and ears tell me that SAKA is NOT of that self centred ilk, fortunately, not only for us but for himself personally too!
In my book ,if you only ever think of yourself and own your personal material wealth, then you are already one of lifes losers, no matter how “RICH ” your bank again shows you are.
Without personal honour, you are a moral pauper, my friends
I think it has to be remembered as well that there don’t appear to be greedy types at City. Isn’t Haaland on an absolute fortune?Hopefully the number of greedy players is tiny compared to the vast majority who want to be successful on the pitch.
Jon, I echo your first paragraph abd I think the difference will be that this fine young person has been with the club from such an early age and knows what The Arsenal is about.
I shudder at the enormity of his reported salary, but it’s fair to say that, if we didn’t pay it, the likes of city and chelsea wouldn’t have blinked twice.
Now it’s time for Saliba to commit.
Thanks KEN I am though, more interested to see if you agree , or don’t agree, with my second paragraph, as to my mind that is the more important one , maybe not to our club specifically, but in life generally. So do you?
Of course Jon, that goes without saying.
Good to hear KEN.
@jon fox
I get where you are coming from with ôzil and Aubameyang, but I think there are 2 factors, which I hope makes the difference.
Saka is young and looking very much at where he can continue develop. He could without a doubt have gotten more money at other PL clubs, especially at Man City.
Özil and Auba were both past their prime, and they were probably looking at where they could get most money. I think they could hardly get much more at any club.
Although we are all disappointed at how the season fizzled out so quickly, it is great news to see such a fine young man as Bukayo commit himself to Arsenal. Happy making. With Gabby Martinelli having signed, we have the basis of a great team. If we get the midfield Arteta wants we can be a top team for years to come. We love our team……ARSENAL.
Great news! Now we need Marquinhos back at Arsenal to force Saka work harder
Saka’s new contract will expire in 2027, so he’ll have two or three seasons to show his improvement, before Arsenal decide to extend his stay or cash in on him
OT: According to Ornstein, apparently Arsenal’s priorities are Gundogan, Rice, Mount and Kudus. No news about a new CF 😥
Balogun GAI – why spend on a CF, when we haven’t given the man his chance?
Based on Balogun’s YouTube highlights, his physical/ technical abilities and playing style are similar to Jesus’/ Nketiah’s
Hopefully he can show something different in pre-season. But I’d prefer Arsenal to sign someone with better hold-up and aerial abilities, as a backup plan
Ken the fact is he should’ve gotten Eddies spot this season so we could see him properly in the EPL, although with poor rotation I’m not sure how much he would’ve played.
He is a completely unknown entity and add to that our 2 underperforming strikers it leaves us in a bad spot.
Jesus and Eddie are both clearly not good enough to lead the line so do we put all that pressure on Balogun?
Gai, I would prefer Rice. Kudus is fine too but more attack minded. Gudogan is getting old you can’t bet on him giving you 100% next season. Rice, Jesus, Zubimendi or Canceido. I guess Arteta and his coaching crew knows what they want. I keep my fingers cross if they don’t go out for another CF.

Rice is better aerially than the other targets and I bet he can play like Stones as a hybrid DM/ CB. He would likely allow Arteta to play with false-CB tactic, as Guardiola has been successfully using this season
I also don’t fancy Gundogan due to his age, but Arteta may need him for his Man City experience. I believe Zubimendi can also play false-CB and I don’t think Arsenal are still interested in Caicedo
It’s going to be a very busy summer for Kroenke, Arteta and Edu
Glad that he signed but just another example of poor contract management costing the club.
Essentially Saka could ask for a much higher wage as he held all the cards and everyone knew it.
“like a burst of sunshine”, “captivating the hearts of supporters”, “Arsenal faithful can now rejoice”, “cheers of joy and celebration”, “the sun shines even brighter”, “Arsenal faithful are beaming with pride and optimism”.
Really Sam, laying it on a bit thick here, aren’t we?
I don’t see how we can now possibly fail to win the magic treble next season.
Well according to the itks Saka signed about 2 months ago. Apparently they were waiting for the right time. Now that fans are groaning about our capitulation and season coming to a close they decide to announce it now. Same thing was done when they gave Arteta a new contract after 3 straight losses but waited quite long till perfect moment to announce. Lol
Bye the way I’m glad he signed but should have been a 5 year contract not 4 years at that ridiculous amount.
Now that the execution of the contract has been confirmed perhaps Arteta should rest Saka, who is a very intelligent and humble young man by all accounts, to ensure he is not injured in what is a fairly meaningless match for both sides.As a gesture of appreciation for his “loyalty” he could make an entrance with 5 minutes to go to enable fans to applaud him for his efforts this season.During that 5 minutes he could be used as an inverted left back? I am jesting but you never know!
The best news in an otherwise poor ending to the season. Saka was probably waiting for the CL confirmation and now Saliba and Odegaard should put pen to paper and we are great to go with a few key additions in the summer. That said, I still think this has been a great season and all said and done we have exceeded our expectations, gave City a run for their money till the almost very end. Next season will hopefully have some trophies in our cabinet.
