The saga around William Saliba's future is reaching its climax, and all indications now suggest a long-term extension with Arsenal is imminent.

This move highlights just how crucial the 22-year-old has become for the Gunners, with his consistently commanding performances cementing his place in the squad. Even the direct interest from Real Madrid—who dispatched scouts to monitor him during the blockbuster clash with Manchester City—has failed to sway the French international’s resolve.

Saliba's commitment is a massive boost for Arsenal, rewarding a defender who has already tallied seven goals and three assists across 139 appearances in an Arsenal shirt.
