BUKAYO SAKA might arguably be Arsenal's most important player, but reports claim he is actually the SECOND LOWEST earner at the club.
Only new back-up goalkeeper Matt Turner [£20,000-a-week] pockets less money than the England international in North London.
Figures from Sportrac say Saka picks up just £30k-a-week on his current deal.
Although that might get a hefty hike soon with Arsenal set to launch negotiations over a new and improved contract for the 21-year-old in the near future.
Boss Mikel Arteta declared last month that he is confident the academy graduate will pen fresh terms with the Gunners.
And Saka himself recently hinted at a new deal after revealing he feel at "home at Arsenal".

That is ahead of Thomas Partey [£200k] and former Citizens team-mate Oleksandr Zinchenko.
The Ukraine international followed Jesus to the Emirates in the summer, with the versatile left-back pocketing £150k-per-week.
