Arsenal are wasting no time securing their biggest stars for the future, with Bukayo Saka’s blockbuster new deal set to kick off a wave of extensions at the Emirates.
According to reports, football chief Andrea Berta is targeting two more major renewals after Saka puts pen to paper, and the names are huge: Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber.
Saka, the face of Mikel Arteta’s project, is expected to become Arsenal’s highest earner once his new contract is finalised, and few can argue he doesn’t deserve it. Since breaking into the first team, the England winger has been unstoppable, delivering goals, assists, and leadership beyond his years.
His new deal will be a statement of intent, proof that Arsenal mean business in keeping their elite talent. Saka’s loyalty and drive perfectly embody Arteta’s vision for a team built on passion and consistency.
But the good news doesn’t stop there. As Football London reveals, Jurrien Timber and Declan Rice are next in line for new long-term contracts.
Despite an early injury setback, Timber has already shown his class when fit, cool on the ball, tactically sharp, and versatile enough to push Ben White for a starting spot. Arteta sees him as a key piece in Arsenal’s defensive puzzle.
And then there’s Rice, Arsenal’s record signing, who’s been worth every penny. The England star has transformed the Gunners’ midfield with his power, composure, and leadership, quickly silencing any talk about his £105m price tag.
By locking down Saka, Rice, and Timber, Arsenal are making their intentions crystal clear: they’re building a dynasty, not a dream.
The message to rivals? The Gunners aren’t just planning for the present, they’re securing the future.
