New Arsenal contract for Saliba?

According to a recent report by The Times, Arsenal have stepped up their efforts to sign William Saliba to a new contract.

The 21-year-old has been on fire so far this season after spending three years on loan in France, with Mikel Arteta able to integrate him seamlessly into the Emirates system.

Arsenal already have three clean sheets to their name and while it's not just down to Saliba's influence, no one can deny the kind of impact he's having at the back - consistently too .

The potential contract extension in question would keep Saliba on the books in North London until 2027, securing him a bright future as one of the leading defenders in Arteta's setup.

There's still plenty of room for growth and development before it can be properly considered the finished product, but right now it's making some serious waves.
