Arsenal have opened new talks with William Saliba to tie him down with interested parties monitoring his situation and reward the defender after an impressive start to the season.
The 21-year-old has hit the ground running since making his Premier League debut at the start of this season and has gone on to win seven of his first eight games, keeping three clean sheets and scoring two goals.
Saliba has been one of the most impressive defenders so far this season but only has two years left on his current deal after signing for the Gunners in 2019 for £27m from Saint-Etienne. Having stalled in previous talks over the summer, with Saliba waiting to be shown he would get a first-team chance this season, new talks are now in play, according to the Evening Standard.
