Arsenal supporters could be in line for some more encouraging news regarding William Saliba as the club just might be on the verge of announcing a new contract for the defender.
The Frenchman - who scooped the 2021/22 Ligue 1 Young Player of the Season award as well as being named in Ligue 1’s Team of the Season alongside the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Marquinhos and Aurelien Tchouameni during a successful loan spell with Marseille - revealed back in May that he was planning to finally kick-start his career with the Gunners - three years on from his £27m arrival.
"I belong to Arsenal. I still have two years left," Saliba said in an interview with French television programme Telefoot on Sunday morning. "I will be back with Arsenal. I have played zero matches, and I still want to show them my true face and have the chance to play for these fans and this great club."
