Arsenal are closing in on securing William Saliba's future at the Emirates Stadium after verbally agreeing a new four-year deal with the Frenchman. football.london reported earlier this month that Saliba had verbally agreed a new four-year contract - with his current deal set to expire in 2024.
Going into the previous campaign, there were fears that many of the club’s best stars were nearing the end of their deals, threatening to undermine a Gunners side on the up. However, the majority of Mikel Arteta's squad are now tied down to long-term deals that protects the future of the club and gives them stability as they chase down trophies heading into the 2023/24 campaign.
Saliba signed for Arsenal back in 2019 before spending the next three seasons out on loan as he continued his development. Following a successful stint at Marseille in the 2021/22 season, the 22-year-old returned to the Emirates Stadium and proved to be a pivotal player for Arteta during Arsenal's Premier League title challenge last term.
