Saliba pens new five-year contract with Arsenal | OneFootball

Arsenal have announced that defender William Saliba has signed a new long-term deal with the club.

The central defender has been one of the club's key players since returning from a loan spell at Marseille for the 2022/23 season.

Saliba had two years left on his deal but has now committed to the North London club until 2030 according to reports.

"William is loved by all the players and staff, and that speaks volumes about his character, commitment and attitude every day," said manager Mikel Arteta.

"Since joining us, William has grown so much, embraced responsibility, and has created a strong connection with our supporters and everyone at the club.

"We know there is still so much to come from him and will continue to work together to keep improving with the clear ambition of winning major trophies."

So far, Saliba has played 140 games for the Gunners, chipping in with seven goals. Last season, the player was named in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year.
