William Saliba poised to sign new deal at Arsenal
Arsenal are set to be handed a major boost with multiple reports suggesting William Saliba will sign a new five-year contract.
The France international has entered the final 20 months of his existing deal and has been linked with Real Madrid, expediting the need to initiate talks with a view to keeping him at the Emirates.
Discussions have been ongoing for several months and, according to The Athletic and Fabrizio Romano, have now reached a satisfactory ending with Saliba poised to sign a deal that will see him stay in North London until 2030 with a formal announcement due in the coming days.
Arsenal signed Saliba from Saint-Etienne in 2019 when he was a teenager and immediately sent him back to France for season-long loan spells with Nice and Marseille.
