The 2023 season for Arsenal has been full of ups and downs. Mikel Arteta’s side stumbled in the Premier League title race. Moreover, an exit from Europe also brought gloomy days to the Emirates. Now they are looking to end the season in good spirits, with the biggest news coming about their star player. Bukayo Saka has signed a contract extension with the Gunners.
The Londoners announced yesterday that they have managed to keep their prolific winger at the club. The young starlet has received a contract worth $74 million. However, aside from his big contract, Saka grabbed eyeballs due to his expensive watch.

Bukayo Saka looks to stay at Arsenal. The England international has put pen to paper that will keep him at Emirates till 2027. While signing the contract, the player drew attention to his left hand. Saka signed the big-money deal by wearing a pretty expensive watch.
The 21-year-old was sporting a stylish Patek Philippe Aquanaut Chronograph 5968R ‘Brown’ watch made of 18k rose gold. This particular version of the Aquanaut Chronograph, released earlier this year, is an addition to the collection that originally debuted in 2018 with a stainless steel variant.

The watch boasts water resistance up to 120 meters and features a 60-minute counter positioned at 6 o’clock, designed to complement the rounded octagonal shape of the bezel. It is an expensive watch as the retail price of this watch is $75,700.00, but its market price currently stands at $190,000.00.
Indeed, it is quite an expensive accessory that Saka boasts. It looked good on his hand while he signed the contract. While the Gunners fans must be happy to see their talented player stay for the long haul, they are still upset about the bottling of their title. In fact, they blame Kim Kardashian for their loss.

Arsenal fans have blamed Kim Kardashian for their failure to win the Premier League. Manchester City secured their fifth title in six years when Arsenal lost to Nottingham Forest, extinguishing their slim hopes of claiming their first league championship since 2004.

Throughout the season, Arsenal had been leading the pack and spent a record 248 days at the top of the table. This is the longest any team has held the top spot without winning the Premier League. However, their form plummeted in March, leading some fans to point to Kim Kardashian’s presence at their match that month as the catalyst for their decline.
Kim Kardashian was also in attendance at the Emirates Stadium when Arsenal was eliminated from the Europa League by Sporting CP. The influencer also faced backlash after pictures of her and Saka surfaced while Facetiming. This has led to the notion of a “Kardashian curse” among some Gunners supporters.
