Bukayo Saka has signed a new, long-term deal with Arsenal to remain at his boyhood club until 2027.
The winger, 21, has grown to become an integral part of Mikel Arteta’s side and his performances have made him one of the most sought-after players in European football.
Manchester City were among a host of clubs monitoring Saka’s future as talks dragged on.
But the England international has now committed his future to Arsenal and become one of the club’s highest earners.
The deal, as revealed by Mail Sport in February, is understood to be worth a minimum of £10million a year with the winger set to earn in excess of £200,000 a week.

Saka is among a group of young players whom Arsenal have worked to tie down this season.
Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Magalhaes penned new contracts earlier in the year, while goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale announced his extension last week. Talks over a new deal for William Saliba go on.
Arsenal had already triggered an extension in Saka’s previous contract, tying him down for a further 12 months to 2024.
But this news comes as a huge boost for Arteta’s side, who have seen their title hopes evaporate in recent weeks.
