Bukayo Saka is expected to agree a new contract with Arsenal in the coming months as his growing influence within the squad makes him an indispensable figure for the club. The forward has consistently proven his value since breaking through from the Hale End academy and is regarded by many supporters as central to the team’s future success.
Recently, William Saliba committed his long-term future by signing an extension that keeps him at Arsenal until 2030. With his deal secured, the club’s focus has naturally shifted to Saka, ensuring that another of their most vital assets remains tied down for the foreseeable future.
Contract Talks and Financial Considerations
According to Give Me Sport, Saka is set to be offered a contract worth around £250,000 per week. While this figure would place him among the highest earners in English football, it would still leave him short of becoming Arsenal’s top-paid player. At present, Kai Havertz commands a weekly salary of approximately £280,000, making him the club’s leading earner.
Saka’s impact on the team has been considerable since his emergence. His consistency, creativity, and reliability on the pitch have led many to suggest that he is more influential than Havertz. Despite this, reports indicate that his new contract will not exceed the German international’s earnings. This has led to debate over whether the club should reward him with parity or even surpass Havertz’s wages, given his stature within the squad.
Strategic Value for Arsenal
Even though he may not become the highest-paid player at the Emirates, Saka’s projected salary would still represent one of the most lucrative contracts in the Premier League. From the club’s perspective, securing his services at this level can be seen as strong business, balancing financial prudence with the need to retain their most talented footballers.
The Hale End graduate continues to embody Arsenal’s identity, and his commitment would provide both stability and assurance to supporters who view him as the face of the team. While some argue that he deserves to be the club’s top earner, an agreement at £250,000 per week would still underline Arsenal’s faith in his abilities and ensure his influence remains central to their ambitions.

That’s throwing the spanner into the wheel. Whats the urgency,behind throwing money at Saka while he’s still developing, and there’s no apparent danger of losing him?
What are you going to offer him the day he’s dangled a carrot by PSG, R.Madid, or anyone of the several moneybags that buy teams off-the-shelf?
We’ve just come out of a period of inflated salaries that we couldn’t shake when players declined.
While I don’t think this should prejudice the case for Saka’s salary increase, he is obviously at parity when compared with other players on salaries like this, it’s something we need to be careful about. Maybe Kai’s salary should be coming down??
I agree with you completely’.Arsenal should not be throwing money around unnecessarily. Those are practices that push companies under rather then strengthen them. What happens when Rodrygo, Musiala or for arguments sake, Mbappe decides to join? Where are they gonna be in the structure? We got too excited ‘financially’ with Oil, Aubameyang and for some strange reason Kai Harvests and it didn’t turnout well, and its not looking good with Havertz either.
Well, lesser players are being paid more, so I think he’s entitled TBH.
That’s as shallow as it is short on logic. If a mistake is committed, do we roll it out to the entire team, or try to contain it?
🙄🙄🙄
Havertz’s has always bee kinda strange
Saka>Havertz
That Kai havertz salary is just depressingly mind blowing , how did it happen ? Anyway Saka shouldn’t be given more money now at least not yet , his time will come when he too will be arsenal’s highest earner but it has to be tied to his increasing age , and experience with the team.
Good one on Saliba for extending his contract with us would love to see the faces of those folks at Real Madrid HQ who are hoping he does an Mbappe and Trent on us.
OT. Good Saturday today United lost, pool lost, and Chelsea lost, here is hoping the scum complete it and make it a perfect Saturday.
The Kai Havertz salary is undisclosed, the figures are speculated
£250,000 sounds about right imho. He also earns millions each year from his image rights (BS7 Rights Limited) which is run by his parents.
Agree with the points made about over paying and ending up with a player that diminishes in ability, or just gets old. Perhaps the reason for Havertz’s salary was based on what he got at Chelsea.
Whilst his age has some relevance, he is 24 now and not an emerging talent so I would reward him similarly to Rice or Odegaard.
Yes highest CONDITIONAL PAYMENT based on appearances because Saka has serious availability problem due to persistent injury issue (If he plays this number and minutes of matches). Otherwise after signing the performances of most senior players drop as we saw it with Aubameyang and Ozil.
£250,000 a week, Is that all he’s on. He must be struggling. Lets start up a crowd funding account immediately. 🙄🤦♂️
