Arsenal defender William Saliba is “set to” sign a three-year contract extension keeping him at the Emirates until 2027, according to journalist Rudy Galetti.
The Italian reporter claims the Frenchman, whose current deal expires in 2024, will commit his long-term future to the Gunners:

Saliba has been in outstanding form for Mikel Arteta’s side since the beginning of the season and it will be a huge boost if he does put pen to paper on a new contract.
The 21-year-old is believed to be one of three Arsenal players who are currently locked in talks over extending their stays at the London club.
Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli are also in negotiations with the Gunners, with it being reported that they’re hoping to have new deals wrapped up before the end of the year.
If Galetti’s information is accurate, though, it appears that Saliba could sign on the dotted line slightly sooner than his teammates.
