Saliba hopeful about new Gunners contract
- Published
William Saliba says that he will "hopefully" sign a new contract with Arsenal.
The defender is into the final two years of his contract, which expires in 2027.
His centre-back partner Gabriel has committed his future to the club and agreed a deal until 2029.
Arsenal are also hoping to secure a new deal with Bukayo Saka, who is also into the last two years of his contract.
Saliba is part of the squad in Singapore on Arsenal's pre-season tour and, when asked about whether he will sign a new contract, he said: "Yes, hopefully - of course there is nothing now but there is a good conversation with my agent and the club. Let's see."
Before the friendly with Newcastle, Arsenal's new signing Viktor Gyokeres was unveiled to supporters.
"We know how good he is, it's scary to play against him," added France international Saliba.
"I'm so happy to have him in my club. I'm sure that he will help us to win games and win trophies."
