William Saliba is set to become the latest Arsenal first-team player, in the past month or so, to commit his future to the club.
With the Frenchman's deal due to expire at the end of next season, football.london understands he has verbally agreed a new four-year contract with the north London outfit - keeping him at the club until the summer of 2027 at the latest - therefore all that remains is for the defender to officially put pen to paper.
This development will no doubt be music to the ears of Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta: "We want to keep our best talent," he told reporters last month. "Especially the players that deserve some recognition. I think he has been incredible since he came back from his loan period and we want to reward him, that is for sure. We will find the right moment to do that.
