Arsenal superstar Bukayo Saka has officially ascended into the upper echelon of the Premier League’s financial rankings following his blockbuster contract extension at the Emirates Stadium. The 24-year-old forward now commands a weekly salary of £300,000, a figure that establishes him as the highest-paid player in the history of the North London club. This historic agreement reflects Saka’s indispensable role in Mikel Arteta’s tactical setup and places him firmly among the top ten highest earners in the English top flight.
By securing these new terms, the England international moves past several high-profile teammates in the Gunners’ pay structure. Saka now earns more than German versatile attacker Kai Havertz, who takes home £280,000 per week, and Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus, who receives £265,000 weekly. This internal shift underscores Arsenal’s commitment to rewarding home-grown talent as they continue to challenge for major domestic and European silverware in 2026.
Despite Saka’s massive pay rise, Manchester City’s Erling Haaland maintains his position as the league’s undisputed financial leader with a staggering £525,000-per-week package. Liverpool talisman Mohamed Salah follows in second place, while veteran stars Casemiro and Virgil van Dijk round out the top tier. Saka’s new valuation sees him share the fifth spot on the national earnings list with Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, signaling a new era of financial parity for the Arsenal academy graduate.
