The upcoming week could be crucial for Arsenal as they will face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semi-final.
They are just two games away from reaching the title clash for only the second time in the competition’s history.
Amid all the tension and excitement among Arsenal fans, Bukayo Saka has reportedly signed a new contract as per reports from transfer insider Sam Cohen.
Saka, who has risen through the Arsenal academy, has grown in stature in the last few years. The winger has established himself as one of the best in his position in the world.
The 23-year-old has been expected to sign a new contract for months, and there were rumours of him becoming the highest earner at the club, mainly due to his impact.
Although the finer details of the contract are still unknown, the Gunners are expected to tie him down with a long-term contract. Saka is a homegrown talent which only enhances his importance in Mikel Arteta’s setup.

Saka to stay at Arsenal despite Real Madrid links
Real Madrid are big admirers of the youngster, and that admiration turned into proper interest after his performances against Los Blancos. The Gunners dominated both fixtures, and Saka played a crucial role in their 5-1 thumping on aggregate.
According to reports on Spanish outlet Defensa Central, Real Madrid were preparing a big swoop for the Englishman this summer. He was an option to replace one of their Brazilian wingers if they were to leave the Santiago Bernabeu.
However, this news of his signing a new contract will have dampened the mood in the Spanish capital.
The 23-year-old, despite all his injuries, remains an integral part of Arteta’s plans. He has been involved in 24 goal contributions in 31 appearances across all competitions this season.
According to Capology, Saka currently earns £195,000 per week. After this contract renewal, we expect him to become one of the highest earners at Emirates Stadium.
