Arsenal Secures William Saliba's Future With New Five-Year Deal
Arsenal has secured a significant boost to their defence with William Saliba committing his future to the club. Despite reported interest from Real Madrid, the 22-year-old French centre-back has signed a new five-year contract, keeping him at the Emirates until 2030.
Saliba's decision comes as a relief to Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, who praised the player's commitment and the squad's 'great energy' following their recent win at Newcastle. The Gunners are now looking to build on their success in the Premier League, where they finished second last season, and make a strong impression in the Champions League. Saliba is the latest player to extend his stay at Arsenal, joining Gabriel Magalhaes, Ethan Nwaneri, and Myles Lewis-Skelly in committing to the club's long-term vision.
Saliba's journey at Arsenal has been one of resilience. Joining the club in 2019, he spent three seasons on loan before finally establishing himself as a regular starter in the 2022/23 season. His impressive performances have made him a key player in Arteta's side, helping them secure second place in the Premier League for the past three seasons.
With Saliba's future secured, Arsenal's defence looks strong heading into the new season. The Gunners will be aiming for a second consecutive win in the Champions League league phase after their 2-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao in the opening match. Arteta's side will be looking to build on their recent success and make a significant impact in Europe.
