This is a huge boost for gunner boss Mikel Arteta as the Gunners secured one of Europe&#8217;s top defenders in the near future. It also seeks interest from Real Madrid.<\/span> A turn when Saliba entered the final two years of his contract with the Emirates.<\/p>\n<p data-mce-linkchecker-status=\"valid\">Real Madrid launched a campaign to publicly plead with France International, hoping he would defeat the contract and they would seduce him in Spain. However, Saliba, 24, has pledged his future to Arsenal as the club aims to win a major trophy under Arteta&#8217;s leadership.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Saliba explained five reasons why he extended his stay in North London. &#8220;I feel like I&#8217;m home. We have a good team, we have a good team, we have a good staff. The coach is perfect for me.<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;When I have the opportunity to wear this shirt, I enjoy every day. I try to give it everything. And now I&#8217;m giving this club and the fans even more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Arteta praised Saliba, saying, &#8220;William is worshiped by all his players and staff, which speaks volumes every day about his personality, commitment and attitude.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We know there&#8217;s still a lot to come from him. We&#8217;ll continue to work together to continue improving our clear ambitions to win major trophies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    For the latest broken stories and headlines, sign up for the Daily Express Transfer Newsletter. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Saliba previously revealed that he owned an Arsenal shirt as a child, and grew up praised the gunners and an arrangement of French stars like Thierry Henry. Arsenal sports director Andrea Berta has been leading the wave of new contracts since taking the reins last summer.<\/p>\n<p data-mce-linkchecker-status=\"valid\">Arsenal secured Gabriel, one of Europe&#8217;s top defensive partnerships, in a new deal. The gunners also signed Miles Lewis Skelly and Ethan Nuwaneri on a long-term contract, with Bukayo Saka next in line.<\/p>\n<p>The 24-year-old Saka is entering the final two years of his current contract, but negotiations are positive and Arsenal is confident that the English star will commit his future to the club. Saka himself has publicly expressed his desire to stay with the Emirates and achieve success.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p data-mce-linkchecker-status=\"valid\">This represents a huge boost for Arsenal. It is clear that Arteta has convinced the club to buy up key players into his plan, despite finishing as runner-up for three years.<\/p>\n<p>However, Arteta claims that Arsenal is now the biggest trophy contender as they prepare to face the Olympiacos in the Champions League on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/2115124\/Arsenal-William-Saliba-contract-news-Real-Madrid\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arsenal announced that William Saliba has it He signed a new five-year contract that would keep him at the club until 2030.
