Curse of Arsenal's best-paid players should come to an end with Bukayo Saka's new deal

Bukayo Saka is set to become Arsenal's best paid player when he signs his new contract.

The England star is close to extending his stay at the Emirates Stadium in a deal worth around £300,000 per-week. Saka's current contract was due to run out in 2024 - just 15 months away. However, he will now pen an extension to take him through to the summer of 2028.

A new deal is richly deserved for Saka, who has been outstanding for Arsenal this season. The 21-year-old became the first player to register double-figures for goals and assists in the Premier League when he produced a scintillating individual performance against Crystal Palace on March 19.
