Arsenal have made their first move to secure William Saliba's long-term future.
Having signed a four-year contract in the summer of 2019 after completing a £27million transfer from Saint-Etienne, the 21-year-old is now into the final few months of his deal - meaning he could leave for free at the end of the season which would be a massive blow for the Gunners.
However, as previously reported by football.london, Arsenal can trigger the option to extend Saliba's contract by a further 12 months - taking it to the summer of 2024 instead - and it would be a major surprise if the club do not exercise their right to do so given how impressive the Frenchman has been at the start of the season.
