Arsenal, who are currently sitting in second place on the Premier League table, have made a lot of reinforcements coming into the season which has vastly improved their squad depth. They are one of the team
who have a complete squad in all the positions along with the backups. One of their defenders, William Saliba has been an integral part of manager Mikel Arteta’s project to rebuild the squad right from the time they signed him from Saint-Etienne in 2019.
The 24-year-old centre-back has been a rock in the back for the Gunners over the years and one of Arteta’s most reliable personnel. According to many reports, many European top-tier clubs are interested in signing the French international as his current contract expires in the year 2027, with Real Madrid being the favourites. Amidst all this noise, Arteta approached Saliba to understand the player’s desire and get to know what are the interests of the centre-back. However, Arteta was pleased to know that Saliba has quashed all the rumours and informed him about his intentions to continue at Arsenal.
Saliba set to extend his contract at Arsenal until the year 2030: Reports
Arteta revealed that he was quite direct with the 24-year-old about his recent links away from the club. He remarked, “When you hear that noise, you can understand there are certain expectations. When I saw that with William, I asked him the question, he said, 'No, I want to stay here and play for you, I'm very happy as always'.” Arteta was very happy to hear that Saliba desires to remain a Gunner for a few more seasons.
According to multiple reports, Saliba is all set to sign a new contract with Arsenal until the year 2030 with a major hike in his wages at the club. The French international is confident that at this stage of his career Arsenal is the right club for him to keep growing under the expertise of Mikel Arteta.
