It ends any speculation over the boyhood Gooners future, leaving fans wildly – and emotionally – celebrating the news.
One said: “Tears in my eyes.”
Another added: “One of our own.”
One agreed: “Huge news!! The future is bright.”
Saka, 21, was a huge part of Arsenal’s Premier League title push, which ultimately ended in Manchester City retaining the silverware.
He scored 13 goals in his 37 league appearances, with a further 11 assists and became an integral part of Mikel Arteta’s side.
Talks to extend his contract had been ongoing throughout the campaign, leaving Saka over the moon following the completion of the deal.
As revealed by SunSport, Saka is now Arsenal’s top earner with wages worth up to £300,000-a-week.

He said: “I’m just really happy. There’s been a lot of talking and it’s been a while, but I’m here now.
“I think this is the right club, the right place to make the next step. It’s a beautiful club – look where we are.
“For me, it’s about achieving my personal ambitions; how much I push myself and demand from myself each game, week in, week out.
“Then I have all the right people around me in terms of family, and when I come to the training ground, my teammates, the coaching staff.
“I think I have everything I need to become the best player I can be, and that’s why I’m happy to stay here and be here for the future, because I really believe that we can achieve big things.”
