Arsenal are enjoying a productive time in the transfer market but William Saliba signing a new contract at the Emirates may be their most important piece of business all summer.
Kai Havertz became the Gunners' first arrival of the window when he joined from Chelsea in what promises to be an important summer for the club. Ajax defender Jurrien Timber and a club record transfer fee for West Ham United captain Declan Rice are also imminent.
Yet Saliba’s long-term commitment to the north London club is another significant boost for Mikel Arteta. The imposing central defender ended speculation over his future by penning a long-term deal through to 2027.
