Top earners at Arsenal
Despite Saka’s importance at the Emirates, he fails to make it to the top five when it comes to the highest-paid players at the club.
Acquiring the number one spot in the list is former Chelsea forward Kai Havertz, followed by Gabriel Jesus in second spot.
Club captain Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice earn similar wages at the club, while number five is Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey.
