Arsenal fans receive good news on the future of William Saliba

Arsenal fans can breathe a sigh of relief as the club remains calm about William Saliba’s situation. According to a report by Goal.com, the Gunners are hopeful that they will be able to agree on a new contract with the young defender once the current season has come to an end.

Saliba, who joined Arsenal from Saint-Etienne in 2019, will have just 12 months remaining on his current contract this coming summer. As such, Arsenal is keen to sign him on a long-term deal to secure his future at the club.

The 21-year-old defender has shown great potential during his time at Arsenal and has already played 27 games for the club in the Premier League this season. Unfortunately, an injury ruled him out for the rest of the season, which also affected Arsenal’s title race with Manchester City.

Despite Saliba’s absence, Arsenal is still in contention for the Premier League title this season. The Gunners are currently second on the table with 81 points after 36 games but are closely following first-placed Manchester City, who have 85 points plus one game in hand.

Saliba’s performances this season have been impressive and have caught the attention of many top clubs across Europe. However, Arsenal is determined to keep hold of their young star and secure his future at the Emirates Stadium.

The Frenchman has been praised for his composure on the ball and his ability to read the game. He has also shown great leadership qualities despite his young age and has become an important part of Mikel Arteta’s squad.

Arsenal fans will be hoping that Saliba agrees to a new contract with the club as they look to build a team capable of challenging for major honours in the coming years. With Saliba’s potential and talent, he could play a key role in Arsenal’s future success both domestically and in Europe.

In conclusion, while there may be some uncertainty surrounding Saliba’s future at Arsenal, the club remains calm and hopeful that they will be able to agree on a new contract with the young defender. With Arsenal still in contention for the Premier League title this season, Saliba’s return from injury could prove to be a crucial factor in their pursuit of glory.
