Arsenal have officially confirmed that star defender William Saliba has signed a new contract that will keep him at the Emirates Stadium until June 2030.

The French international, who has become a cornerstone of Mikel Arteta’s side, expressed his pride and happiness at extending his stay with the Gunners.

Saliba’s decision to commit long-term is a major boost for the club as they look to build on recent progress and mount serious challenges for domestic and European honours.
