Premier League club Arsenal have announced their star player, Bukayo Saka, has signed a new four-year contract with the Gunners.

The 24-year-old has been with Arsenal since 2010, from the club’s Hale End Academy as an eight-year-old.

“He has since progressed to become the leading goalscorer, assister and appearance maker in our current squad – with 78 goals and nearly 300 club appearances in all competitions,” said Arsenal.

“Bukayo made his first team debut at 17 in November 2018, before being named Arsenal Player of the Year in both 2021 and 2022. He was also named PFA Young Player of the Year in 2022/23 and was in the PFA Team of the Season that same year. Our forward was also named as England Men’s Player of the Year for both 2021/22 and 2022/23.

“A leader of our forward line with his consistent performances, establishing himself as one of the best wingers in world football, Bukayo has won our Arsenal Player of the Month award more times than any other player since it began in 2012.”

A senior England international since October 2020, Saka has made 48 appearances for the Three Lions, representing them at three major tournaments and helping the nation to the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup, as well as back-to-back finals at Euro 2020 and 2024, continuing to be a key player for his country into this summer’s World Cup.

Saka was born on 5 September 2001 in Ealing, Greater London, to Nigerian parents, Adenike and Yomi Saka.
