William Saliba is in no rush to sign a new deal at Arsenal - leaving the North Londoners in a precarious position.
The French centre-half has been one of the season's big success stories, having spent several years away from the Emirates. Mikel Arteta originally appeared unsure on the defender, who has spent the last two seasons out on loan, but he has quickly established himself at the heart of the back four.
Saliba has 18 months left on his deal and his agent, Djibril Niang, hinted that a new contract was close back in the summer, but any talk of an extension has since gone quiet. The player is aware that he is firmly in the driving seat when it comes to negotiations as he grows in importance.
