William Saliba is expected to ink a four-year contract extension with Arsenal.
Saliba, 22 years old, was a crucial member of the Arsenal squad that finished second in the Premier League last year. The injury he sustained during the Europa League loss to Sporting CP on penalty kicks ended his season in March.
Manchester City overtook Arsenal in the title battle after the Gunners won just two of their last eight games.
The France international will sign the contract in the coming weeks, which is further positive news for Arsenal] after Bukayo Saka signed a long-term deal at the end of last month.
Saliba has one year remaining on his contract with Arsenal, and according to ESPN, he has committed to the club despite interest from rivals in the Premier League and abroad.
He joined Mikel Arteta’s squad this season after spending time on loan with Nice, Marseille, and St Etienne prior to joining the Gunners in 2019 from St Etienne.
