This agreement reflects Saka's importance to the team, as he becomes the first Arsenal academy player to achieve this status since Ashley Cole. The deal also highlights Arsenal's commitment to retaining top talent, following recent extensions for William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Ethan Nwaneri, and Myles Lewis-Skelly.
Saka's new contract positions him among the top earners in the Premier League, although still behind Manchester City's Erling Haaland, who earns £500,000 per week.
