Bukayo Saka sends message to Arsenal fans after signing new long-term contract

Bukayo Saka announced "Arsenal is my team" in a message to fans after penning a new four-year deal with the club.

Saka has represented the Gunners 33 times this season and is proving himself to be an integral part of Mikel Arteta's squad.

Alongside a picture of himself signing his new contract on Instagram, Saka wrote: "London is my home. Arsenal my team.

"I'm so happy to finally announce my contract extension. I love playing for this club and I'm looking forward to what the future holds.

"The hard work continues so I can continue living my dream. God is Great."

Arteta was equally delighted with the youngster's decision to pledge his long-term future to Arsenal.

He said: "Bukayo is a talented and intelligent young player. He has impressed me with his work ethic and attitude to learn and adapt, and it has paid off in his performances.

"I am excited to continue working with him to develop him further, and for him to help us achieve our goals."

Saka has been a standout performer this season, registering 11 assists this campaign - the most in Arsenal colour's since Cesc Fabregas in 2007.

Technical director Edu said: "This is something everyone involved wanted to happen and we are delighted that Bukayo has signed a new long-term contract.

"He's making great progress and is one of a number of young players who have developed through our academy.

"This is so important for us as we move forward as a club."
