Bukayo Saka’s new deal with Arsenal has propelled him into the top ten highest-paid Premier League players.

The 24-year-old now earns £300,000 per week at Emirates, making him the club’s highest earning.

That places him ahead of Arsenal teammates Kai Havertz (£280,000 per week) and Gabriel Jesus (£265,000 per week).

However, the highest-paid footballer in England’s topflight remains Manchester City’s Erling Haaland, who has a stunning £525,000-per-week deal.
