Arsenal have confirmed that Bukayo Saka has put pen-to-paper on a new long-term contract.

The England international has been a mainstay for the Gunners on the right wing and has made almost 300 appearances in all competitions.

His previous deal was due to expire next year and he has now committed his future to the north London giants until the summer of 2031.

Saka scored the opening goal against Wolverhampton Wanderers last night, but the Gunners could not secure a victory at the Molineux.

The north London giants were leading 2-0 at one stage but ended up squandering the advantage. Wolves equalised in the 94th minute.

Arsenal are still five points ahead of Manchester City at the top of the league standings, but the latter have a game in hand now.

Hence, the Gunners face a stern challenge of their title credentials and must beat Tottenham Hotspur away from home on Sunday evening.

Anything less could lead to serious doubts over their title prospects.
