Arsenal defender, William Saliba, has extended his contract with the North London club.
The French center-back, who played a crucial role in Arsenal’s surprising bid for the Premier League championship last season, has allegedly reached an agreement on a four-year contract valued at £10 million ($13 million) per year.
The 22-year-old’s back injury significantly impacted Mikel Arteta’s team’s performance towards the end of the season, enabling Manchester City to retain their title.
“To have William extend his contract with us was something we have wanted to do for a long time,” said Arteta.
“William proved last season just how good and how important he is to our squad.
“The ability he has at his young age of just 22 is exciting, and there is of course so much more room for development with any player at this stage of their career.”
Saliba follows teammates Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Aaron Ramsdale in recently signing new deals.
