Arsenal have confirmed that William Saliba has signed a new long-term contract at the Emirates Stadium. The French defender has extended his stay with the Gunners until 2027.
The 22-year-old defender verbally agreed to sign a new contract - as football.london reported last month - that will see him earn around £10million-per-year. Saliba's new deal does not include an option to extend but there is also no release clause.
The France international’s previous contract was set to expire next year - after Arsenal had already activated an option to extend the deal by a further 12 months - which made it even more important to secure Saliba's future at the club. The Frenchman has followed Reiss Nelson, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Aaron Ramsdale and Gabriel Magalhaes in signing a new long-term deal as Mikel Arteta looks to protect the future of his squad.
