Arsenal FC, young star Bukayo Saka has penned a new long-term deal that will see him remain with the Gunners until 2027.
The 21-year-old forward's decision to commit his future to Arsenal comes after a standout season, during which he has showcased his immense talent, scoring 14 goals and contributing 11 assists.
"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," Saka continued.
"I think I have everything I need to become the best player I can be, and that's why I'm happy to stay here and be here for the future because I really believe that we can achieve big things."
Saka's decision to extend his contract is a testament to his faith in the club's direction and his desire to contribute to Arsenal's success.
The young forward's commitment is a boost for the Gunners as they aim to reclaim their status as one of English football's powerhouses.
Acknowledging the progress Arsenal has made, Saka highlighted the positive changes he has witnessed within the club.
"I have seen a lot of change. I've seen this team and the club grow, and one thing that everyone around us can be excited about is that we are going in the right direction," added Saka.
"Time is on our side. You can look at our team, and a lot of the players are young. We're hungry, and a lot of us haven't won trophies at Arsenal, so we want to achieve big things.”
“If you watch the way we all speak, we want to win, and we want to win here."
Manager Mikel Arteta also expressed his delight at Saka's contract extension, emphasizing the importance of retaining young talents.
"It's great for the club that Bukayo has extended his contract,”
“Retaining our best young talents is key to our continued progress, and Bukayo represents such an important part of our squad now and for the future," said Arteta.
"As well as being a fantastic talent, Bukayo is a special person - he's loved by us all."
With their Champions League qualification secured after a six-year absence, the Gunners are eager to build on their recent successes.
The extension of Saka's contract not only secures one of their brightest assets but also sends a message of intent to potential signings and rival clubs.
