Wednesday, October 1, 2025 - Arsenal have confirmed that France international William Saliba has committed his future to the club by signing a new long-term contract.
The centre back, 24, has reportedly agreed a five-year deal
that will keep him at the Emirates until 2030. His previous contract was due to
expire in 2027. Saliba, who joined Arsenal in 2019, spent several seasons out
on loan before becoming a key figure in Mikel Arteta’s side during the 2022/23
campaign. Since then, he has anchored a defence that has helped the Gunners
finish runners up in the Premier League for three consecutive seasons.
Speaking after the deal was announced, Saliba said: “I feel
at home. We have a good team, we have a good squad, we have good staff. The
coach is perfect for me, so it’s the best place to be. I enjoy every day when I
have the chance to wear this shirt. I try to give everything, and now I’ll give
even more to this club and to the fans.”
Manager Arteta praised the defender’s growth and influence,
saying: “William is loved by all the players and staff, and that speaks volumes
about his character, commitment and attitude every day. Since joining us,
William has grown so much, embraced responsibility, and has created a strong
connection with our supporters and everyone at the club.”
Arsenal currently sit second in the Premier League table,
two points behind leaders Liverpool after six games.
