William Saliba has agreed terms on a new five-year contract at Arsenal.
Saliba, after an impressive season and establishing himself as one of the Premier League’s best centre-backs during his time at the club, featured in all 38 top-flight games in the 2023/24 campaign and missed only three matches last season.
The 24-year-old centre-back had entered the final two years of his contract but is due to commit to the Gunners until June 2030.
The Frenchman is set to join fellow defender Gabriel Magalhaes, plus academy products Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly, in committing to new Arsenal contracts in 2025.
Saliba had to endure a three-year wait after joining the club in the summer of 2019 before finally making his competitive debut for Arsenal at the start of the 2022/23 season. Since breaking into the first team, the defender has featured 139 times in all competitions, netting seven goals.
