Since joining Arsenal<\/a> from West Ham<\/a> in a deal worth \u00a3105m in 2023, the 27-year-old has established a reputation as one of the best midfielders in Europe.<\/p>\n

He has made 102 Premier League appearances for Arsenal<\/a>, while he has also established himself as a key player for England, having already won 72 caps.<\/p>\n

Arsenal<\/a> have moved to lock in the futures of their top stars, with Saka, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri signing extensions over the past 12 months. The club have also opened talks with Jurrien Timber over an improved deal.<\/p>\n

David Raya and Leandro Trossard have also been awarded with improved contracts in recent months, although those deals did not include additional time on their deals.<\/p>\n

Arsenal<\/a> lead the race for the Premier League title by seven points from Manchester City<\/a>, who have a game in hand, heading into the weekend. They host Everton<\/a>, while City go to West Ham<\/a>, with both games on Saturday.<\/p>\n
