Official: Arsenal confirm William Saliba has signed a new long term contract

Arsenal have officially confirmed that star defender William Saliba has signed a new contract that will keep him at the Emirates Stadium until June 2030.

The French international, who has become a cornerstone of Mikel Arteta’s side, expressed his pride and happiness at extending his stay with the Gunners.

Saliba’s decision to commit long-term is a major boost for the club as they look to build on recent progress and mount serious challenges for domestic and European honours.

Since arriving at Arsenal in 2019 from Saint-Étienne, Saliba’s journey has been one of patience, growth, and eventual triumph. After initial loan spells in France, the young centre-back finally made his breakthrough at Arsenal and has since established himself as one of the Premier League’s most dominant defenders.

Speaking about his new contract, Saliba reflected on his personal journey:

“I feel proud of myself because I first signed in 2019 and now I’m still here to extend my contract. I feel at home. It’s the best place to be. I enjoy every day when I have the chance to wear this shirt.”

The 24-year-old’s words show not only his attachment to the club but also the sense of belonging that Arsenal have worked hard to foster under Arteta.

Saliba has become a crucial part of the Arsenal squad

Manager Mikel Arteta also praised Saliba’s character and importance to the squad:

“William Saliba is loved by all the players and staff, and that speaks volumes about his character, commitment and attitude every day.”

Saliba’s new deal until 2030 is a statement of intent from both the player and Arsenal. For Saliba, it represents a commitment to the club where he feels at home, while for Arsenal, it secures the services of a world-class defender at the peak of his career.
