William Saliba has been sensational for Arsenal since he returned from an impressive loan spell at Marseille last term. The French defender's form this season earned him a place in France's World Cup squad as Les Bleus reached the final for a second consecutive tournament, but were unable to retain their crown as world champions.
The Gunners are hoping to tie Saliba down to a new long-term deal with his current contract set to expire in 2024. The 21-year-old has been ever-present in Mikel Arteta's team this season, playing every single minute in the Premier League campaign as they fight for the title.
Jakub Kiwior completed a £21million move to the Emirates Stadium in January to add depth to Arteta's centre-back options heading into a crucial period of the season. Saliba remains one of the first names on the team sheet and his performances continue to prove how crucial he is to their title hopes.
