Saka agrees new Arsenal deal to 2031

Bukayo Saka has agreed a new and improved five-year contract at Arsenal, with fresh terms taking him from his current June 2027 deal to summer 2031, in a package designed to reflect his standing among Europe’s elite, as David Ornstein revealed. The agreement is reported to be in the process of being finalised.

The timing is significant: Arsenal have made a clear habit of locking down core players early rather than letting contracts drift toward the danger zone, and Saka remains one of the club’s most important faces on and off the pitch.

Agency behind the contract: Elite Project Group

Saka is represented by Elite Project Group (EPG), a boutique football agency that has been part of his career journey since youth level and is known publicly for guiding Premier League and England-level talent.

EPG’s positioning is built around long-term career management rather than just transfer activity – the exact kind of representation model that becomes crucial when a club is rewriting a superstar’s deal: salary structure, bonus triggers, commercial elements, and long-term planning.

They also represent another top players and talents across the Premier League: Jamie Gittens, Alex Iwobi, Roméo Lavia, Jadon Sancho, Ola Aina or Tyrique George.

Wage context: what Saka earns now and what bonuses can add

Salary details are rarely official, but the main wage trackers paint a consistent picture of Saka already being among Arsenal’s top earners.

Capology estimates Saka’s current base salary at £195,000 gross per week, excluding bonuses. When Saka signed his last long-term deal in 2023, UK reporting said it was worth at least £200,000 a week and could rise to around £300,000 a week with bonuses, showing there is major incentive-based upside.

A new deal to 2031 is expected to push him further toward the top bracket at Arsenal, in line with his role and output.
