Arsenal's task of getting William Saliba to sign a new long-term contract has just got even tougher, with three major clubs said to be lining up a transfer swoop.
Saliba, 22, has been in talks over a new deal throughout much of the season, with his current contract set to expire in just 12 months' time. Arsenal are in the process of extending the stays of various key players, with goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale becoming the latest star to commit his future to the Gunners when an announcement was made on Thursday.
But highly-rated centre-back Saliba, whose injury sustained in March has played a crucial role in the collapse of Arsenal's Premier League title charge, remains on his previous deal which he penned in 2019, having signed from French side Saint-Etienne for £27million as a teenager. Now, with only one full season in the first-team, the 22-year-old's Gunners career could be jeopardy.
