William Saliba has signed a new contract with the Arsenal that will keep him in north London until 2027. One of our biggest signings of the summer? I'd say so!
It was reported yesterday by David Ornstein that the Frenchman had put pen-to-paper and the news is now official following the club's announcement confirming as much this afternoon.
Having spent time out on loan back at Saint-Etienne, Nice and Marseille since signing for the Gunners back in the summer of 2019 - many questioned whether Saliba had a future at Arsenal under Mikel Arteta.
It's been a long road and the defender's comments in the announcement video suggest even he wondered at the time whether multiple loan moves away were the right thing for him but the club's handling of the 22-year-old has proven to be spot on.
He returned to Emirates Stadium in his own words 'as a man' last summer, has established himself as a key member of the team and is looking to push on even further during the 2023/24 season.
From next season, he'll be wearing the number two shirt.
