William Saliba to sign new four-year contract at Arsenal; 22-year-old has been first-team regular for Mikel Arteta’s side after spending previous two seasons on loan with Marseille and Nice; Saliba’s existing deal had barely 12 months remaining
William Saliba has agreed in principle a new four-year contract with Arsenal, running to 2027.
The French centre-back’s existing deal was due to end in 2024, but he is now set to add another three years onto his stay in north London.
Arsenal are now formalising paperwork ahead of an official announcement of his extended stay.
Saliba first signed for the Gunners for a fee of around £27m in 2019 and after a year back on loan with former club Saint-Etienne was then handed the number four shirt – but did not make his first-team debut until August 2022.
The 22-year-old spent 18 months back in France across two further loan spells at Nice and Marseille before finally making his Arsenal bow against Crystal Palace last year, and instantly became a key member of Mikel Arteta’s squad.
The defender was instrumental en route to Arsenal’s highest points tally since 2004 (84), scoring twice in 27 Premier League appearances for the club.
