Arsenal has secured a massive coup by confirming that defensive rock William Saliba has signed a new contract extension.
The news, announced by the club on September 30, 2025, sees the 24-year-old sign a five-year deal, extending his commitment well beyond his previous 2027 expiry date. Since joining in July 2019, Saliba has established himself as one of the best central defenders in world football.
His 140 appearances and consistent brilliance have been key to Arsenal’s recent success, helping the team boast the fewest goals conceded in the last two Premier League seasons.
The accolades speak for themselves: he’s been named to the PFA Team of the Year three times running and was honored with a spot on The Best FIFA Men’s 11 in 2024.
What did William Saliba say during his contract extension at Arsenal?
“I believe the manager is one of the best coaches in the world. Both he and his staff have been instrumental in my development, and I’m thrilled to continue working under their guidance. Although I’m 24, I feel I have not yet reached my full potential.
I have a great deal to improve and contribute to this team, and I’m confident that the coach and staff will help me realize my goal of becoming one of the world’s premier defenders and achieving trophy success.“
