Since taking over as Arsenal manager in December 2019, Mikel Arteta has built a very strong squad at the Emirates.
Arsenal are currently embroiled in a thrilling title race with Manchester City as they look to win their first Premier League trophy since the 2003/04 season.
The squad – which includes a mixture of academy graduates and big-money signings – have all signed professional contracts with the north London side.
Using data from transfermarkt and capology, we’ve taken a look at the key contract details for every first-team player at Arsenal.

Raya is currently on a season-long loan deal at Arsenal, although the Gunners can sign the goalkeeper on a permanent deal in the summer if they give Brentford £27million.
Hein, Okonkwo, Soares and Elneny all look set to leave Arsenal when their contracts expire at the end of the 2023/24 season.
While Jorginho is also out of contract at the end of June, Arsenal have an option to extend the deal by another 12 months and they are reportedly planning to offer him a new contract.
But the 32-year-old has also been linked with a move to Italy, and he is attracting interest from Juventus, Fiorentina, Lazio and Napoli.
Mikel Arteta may decide to cash in on Tavares and Partey in the summer as they will have just 12 months left on their Arsenal contracts.
Tavares is currently on loan at Nottingham Forest, while Partey has been linked with Juventus as well as clubs in Saudi Arabia.
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 new deals.
Despite the fact that Gabriel still has over three years left on his contract, The Daily Mail claim that Arsenal have opened preliminary talks with the centre-back over a new deal.

The total wage bill at Arsenal is estimated to be in the region of £3.3million-per-week, which equates to £171.5million-per-year.
It is currently the seventh-highest wage bill in Europe’s top five leagues, behind Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Manchester City and Barcelona.
Havertz joined Arsenal from Chelsea last summer 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.
Hein – who is the third-choice goalkeeper at Arsenal – earns just £10,000-per-week and is their lowest-paid first-team player.

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 and Nketiah are both represented by Elite Project Group Limited, whose other clients include Manchester United’s Jadon Sancho, Chelsea’s Romeo Lavia and 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.
Vieira works with the Gestifute agency, which was founded by super-agent Jorge Mendes. Their other clients include Cristiano Ronaldo, Bernardo Silva, Joao Neves, Ruben Dias and Darwin Nunez.
While most of the players in the Arsenal squad have hired renowned agents, Rice and Nelson are both represented by family members.
