Buyako Saka has signed a new deal to stay at Arsenal until 2027, the club announced on Tuesday. Saka said that staying at Emirates “is the right place to make the next step”.
“I’m just really happy,” said Saka.
“There’s been a lot of talking and it’s been a while, but I’m here now. I think this is the right club, the right place to make the next step. It’s a beautiful club – look where we are.
“For me, it’s about achieving my personal ambitions – how much I push myself and demand from myself each game, week in, week out. Then I have all the right people around me in terms of family, and when I come to the training ground, my team-mates, the coaching staff.
From Hale End to first team. Arsenal through and through.
It’s time for the next chapter.
