Since taking over as Arsenal manager in December 2019, Mikel Arteta has built a very strong squad at the Emirates. 

Arsenal finished second in the Premier League in both 2022/23 and 2023/24 and they will be looking to go one better in the 2024/25 campaign.

The squad – which includes a mixture of academy graduates and big-money signings – have all signed professional contracts with the north London side.

We’ve taken a look at the key contract details for every first-team player at Arsenal.

Arsenal have secured new contracts for a number of important players in the last 18 months, tying down the likes of Saka, Martinelli, Saliba, White, Tomiyasu and Odegaard to long-term deals.

“Signing a new contract was a really easy decision for me for lots of reasons,” Odegaard said after signing his contract extension.

“Mainly what we are doing right now as a club is special, and I want to be a part of that. I’m really excited for what’s to come here. I’ve found a place where I can be really settled and call my home.

“My story is a bit different maybe, as I moved around different clubs since I was 16. At Arsenal, since the first day, I’ve felt great and this is definitely my home now.”

Sterling and Neto are both on season-long loan deals at Arsenal after signing from Chelsea and Bournemouth respectively. Both deals are straight loans with no obligation or option to buy clauses.

Jorginho and Partey have both entered the final year of their contracts, although Arsenal can extend the former’s deal by another 12 months.

The total wage bill at Arsenal is estimated to be in the region of £3.08million-per-week, which equates to £160.1million-per-year.

It is currently the third-highest wage bill in the Premier League, behind only Manchester City and Manchester United.

Havertz joined Arsenal from Chelsea in 2023 and signed a £280,000-per-week contract, making him the highest-paid player at the Emirates.

He is closely followed by Jesus, who was handed a £265,000-per-week contract after his big-money transfer from Manchester City in 2022.

Rice and Odegaard are joint-third with their £240,000-per-week contracts and Partey – who is on £200,000-per-week – takes fifth place.

A number of Arsenal players have performance-related bonuses in their contracts, including Havertz (£50,000-per-week), Odegaard (£60,000-per-week), Saka (£100,000-per-week) and Timber (£30,000-per-week).

The Gunners are reportedly covering half of Sterling’s £325,000-per-week wages during his loan spell at the Emirates and they will cover all of Neto’s £50,000-per-week wages.

Ben White’s agent, Alexander Levack, recently spoke out in support of his client after the defender was criticised for rejecting an England call-up.

“No one knows what is actually going on in one’s life so I really believe people should think before making a judgment or criticising these elite performers in public,” Levack wrote on his LinkedIn page.

“Ben has shown unbelievable robustness and strength throughout this adverse period off the pitch and has blocked out all the noise and has performed incredibly well on the pitch, in a situation where many others could have and would have wilted.”

Saka is represented by Elite Project Group Limited, whose other clients include Chelsea duo Jadon Sancho and Romeo Lavia as well as former Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun.

Martinelli is now represented by Jay Z’s Roc Nation Sports agency after the company acquired the Brazilian TFM Agency in the summer of 2023.

Giuliano Bertolucci – who owns Bertolucci Sports – is one of the biggest agents in Brazil and he has two Arsenal players on his books.

While most of the players in the Arsenal squad have hired renowned agents, Rice and Sterling are both represented by family members.
