Arsenal hierarchy see Saliba as a future star of the side who could spend the next decade at the Emirates.
CBS reporter Ben Jacobs revealed to GIVEMESPORT, Arsenal are closing in on securing William Saliba’s long-term future at the Emirates.
Saliba might get a reward for his efforts this season and the Gunners would love to see him for another season. As per the Athletic, the North London club are currently in talks with Saliba over a new long-term deal with the club.
The report claims the Arsenal hierarchy sees Saliba as a future star of the side and a player who could spend the next decade at the Emirates. Saliba arrived at Arsenal from Saint-Etienne in 2019 for £27 million.
CBS reporter Jacobs told GIVEMESPORT, “I expect Arsenal to be busy and I expect Arsenal to have the lure of Champions League football to be able to attract a fair few players.
“I don’t think that Arteta will want to rock the spine significantly. Because there will still be that core from this season, that are young and have been in form and I expect them to be rewarded.
“Which is why Arsenal have been focusing on all these different renewals to make sure that Saka stays, to try and get Saliba to sign and there’s still high confidence on that.”
