Arsenal has secured the services of William Saliba for the long term, as the defender has signed a new four-year contract with the club.

The deal, reportedly worth £10 million per year, ensures that Saliba will remain with Arsenal until 2027.

Notably, the contract does not include a release clause.

The 22-year-old French player joined Arsenal in 2019, and his previous deal was set to expire in 2024. However, with his new contract, Saliba has committed his future to the club for an extended period.

It is worth mentioning that Arsenal does not have the option to further extend the agreement beyond the four-year term.

Saliba made 27 Premier League appearances last season as Mikel Arteta's side finished second behind Manchester City.

Arsenal are also close to completing a deal to sign Jurrien Timber from Ajax, but Arteta may view Saliba as a potential partner for the Dutchman ahead of the 2023-24 season.
