William Saliba's new Arsenal deal will not include a release clause, it has been claimed, with the Gunners finally ready to confirm an extension for the centre-back.
Saliba's existing deal at the Emirates Stadium was due to expire in 2024. His performances last season helped the London side challenge for the title, but nerves had started to jangle among some supporters amid interest from the continent.
Now, though, The Athletic reports that Saliba has extended his deal until 2027. As with new deals for the Frenchman's club colleagues, Arsenal aren't leaving themselves at risk of a rival being able to pay a release clause, though there is also no option to extend the contract for an extra year.
