William Saliba combined with centre-half partner Gabriel Magalhaes to form a solid rock in front of Aaron Ramsdale in the North London Derby. The Frenchman pocketed Harry Kane for much of the match and made it near-impossible for Spurs to launch their characteristic counterattacks.
Speaking after the game Saliba was asked for an update on his future. The Arsenal defender’s deal expires in 2024 after the Gunner activated an option to extend his contract by a further year to protect them from losing such a key asset.
He said: "I am so happy here. The club is speaking with my agent and me, the only thing I can do is [focus on my football]. I am so happy here."
