Every Arsenal Player’s Wages [2026]

 

Despite their struggles to secure gold, Arsenal have been on a meteoric rise back to the top of the Premier League under Mikel Arteta in the past few years. The Gunners haven’t been shy about spending huge sums of money to get back into the title picture, though, and this is shown in their wage bill.

 

The north London club have signed some of the biggest stars around in recent transfer windows and have also splashed the cash on securing long-term deals for their most important assets. Amid those key developments within the squad, below is a full list of the Arsenal players’ wages – including the reported wages of star man Bukayo Saka, who agreed a new deal in January 2026.

 

Goalkeepers

 



 

David Raya’s move from Brentford to Arsenal was made permanent during the summer of 2024, following an excellent spell between the sticks for the north Londoners, where he won the Golden Glove. After signing new terms in October 2025, the Spanish shot-stopper is now pocketing £120,000 per week for his efforts at the Emirates Stadium, having been rewarded with a £20,000 increase (via Salary Leaks) for proving himself among the best goalkeepers in the business.

 

The Gunners managed to shift Aaron Ramsdale’s substantial £120,000-per-week salary off their books, selling their back-up goalkeeper to Southampton in 2024. In his place, Chelsea’s Kepa Arrizabalaga joined, following loan stints at Real Madrid and Bournemouth, and will earn £60,000 every seven days as a result.

 

Per Salary Leaks, 17-year-old Jack Porter makes just £850 per week as the club’s third-choice goalkeeper.

Defenders

 



 

William Saliba and Gabriel have grown to be the best central defensive partnership in the English top flight. The duo have been equally impressive on the pitch in three successive title charges and they’ve both been rewarded with big contracts in recent times.

 

Gabriel is earning £150,000 per week, while Saliba has more recently put pen-to-paper on a five-year deal worth £250,000-per-week.

20 Highest-Paid Centre-Backs in the Premier League (2024)

 

By Calum Ritchie

 

In the full-back positions, Ben White takes home a healthy £150,000 each week. The Englishman spent much of last season sidelined through injury, and has had a fight on his hands to restablish himself as a regular starter in 2025/26, as he also looks to reclaim a place in the national team setup.

 

Last summer, Arsenal confirmed the arrival of Riccardo Calfiori from Bologna, with the Italian defender earning £120,000 a week. Meanwhile, Jurrien Timber also earns less than £100,000 per week, though he could be in for a pay rise after his contributions last term, which saw him fill in all across the backline where key injuries left some gaping holes.

 

The highly-rated Cristhian Mosquera, signed from Valencia this summer, is earning £55,500-per-week at the club. Still just 21 years old, he could be a key player for the club for many years to come.

 

Breakthrough talent Myles Lewis-Skelly is one of the highest-earning teenagers in world football. He put pen-to-paper on a five-year contract worth £45,000 per week this summer, a cool sum for someone who has only played one professional season so far.

 

Jakub Kiwior left and took his £58,000 wages with him to Porto on deadline day, but was instantly replaced by Piero Hincapie, who will pick up £65k-p/w while on loan from Bayer Leverkusen before his transfer turns permanent next summer.

Midfielders

 



 

Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard are among the best midfielders in the Premier League. The pair have been vital in Arteta’s engine room in the past few years and both are believed to take home £240,000 per week for their efforts.

 

Eberechi Eze’s performances for Crystal Palace and England over the past few years convinced Arsenal to fork out £67.5m and he put pen-to-paper on a four-year deal worth £180,000 per week.

Martin Zubimendi joined the Gunners’ ranks in the summer of 2025, and the former Real Sociedad anchor – who was high on the wishlists of both Real Madrid and Liverpool – is reportedly earning around £75,000 per week for the privilege of playing alongside Rice and Odegaard. That’s £10,000 per week more than Christian Norgaard. Mikel Merino, who had to fill in as a striker for large chunks of the 2024/25 campaign, earns £130,000 per week.

It comes as a no surprise that Bukayo Saka is Arsenal’s highest-paid player. He signed a five-year-deal with the Gunners in early 2026, which will now see him earn a whopping £300,000-per-week, as reported by Salary Leaks. Not a bad increase on his previous £195,000 weekly wages.

Before that deal was signed, Kai Havertz was making the most money at the club. His switch from Chelsea to Arsenal raised eyebrows, but was clearly a good move for the 26-year-old, professionally, financially, and now physically after undergoing an impressive body transformation as he’s packed on some muscle.

 

Gabriel Jesus is well compensated for representing the Gunners after leaving serial winners Manchester City to move to the Emirates. Despite his difficulties in front of goal in recent years, the Brazilian striker is paid more than the vast majority at the club.

 

Arsenal made it their goal to sign a world-class striker this summer and they landed on Viktor Gyokeres. The Swede is earning £200,000-per-week at the club following his £55 million move from Sporting CP.

 

Gabriel Martinelli was making twice as much as Leandro Trossard, but the latter has more than proved good value for money since doubling his previous £90,000 weekly salary, to make just as much as the Brazilian. Ethan Nwaneri’s salary is now something Marseille will have to cover until the end of the season with the youngster out on loan.

 

Noni Madueke made the surprise move from Chelsea to Arsenal this summer and is said to be making £150,000 per week. Finally, wonderkid Max Dowman is still only on an academy scholarship contract so, per Salary Leaks, he’ll earn just £350 until he turns 17. He has, however, signed a pre-agreement for a professional contract that comes into effect on his 17th birthday on December 31​ – at which point he’ll be on £35,000 per week.
