Arsenal confirm new William Saliba contract

William Saliba has signed a new contract with Arsenal.

The Frenchman previously had 12 months to run on his existing contract, but he has agreed a new four-year deal.

The contract is worth around £190,000-a-week and does not contain the option to extend it by a further 12 months.

Arsenal will be delighted to tie down Saliba, who shone for them last season as they battled Manchester City for the Premier League.

The 22-year-old injured his back in March and Arsenal’s title charge faded with the Frenchman out injured.

Saliba has returned to pre-season training this week after using the summer to recover from his injury.

The centre-back is one of several core Arsenal players to commit their future to the club recently, with Aaron Ramsdale, Gabriel, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli all signing new deals over the past 12 months.

Winger Reiss Nelson also signed a new four-year deal yesterday and is hoping for more minutes this season.
