Arsenal defender William Saliba has put pen to paper on a new long-term contract that will keep him at the Emirates Stadium until June 2030. The French international, who first joined the Gunners in 2019, has become a key figure under manager Mikel Arteta and is now set to remain at the heart of the club’s defense for years to come.
Speaking after signing the deal, Saliba expressed his pride and joy at extending his stay. “I feel proud of myself because I first signed in 2019 and now I’m still here to extend my contract,” he said. The 24-year-old added that Arsenal has truly become his home: “I feel at home. It’s the best place to be. I enjoy every day when I have the chance to wear this shirt.”
Saliba’s new deal is seen as a major boost for Arsenal, who are keen to secure the futures of their top talents as they continue to compete for domestic and European honors. His consistency and composure at the back have made him one of the Premier League’s standout defenders, and his long-term commitment signals Arsenal’s intent to build a strong foundation for the future.
With the Frenchman locked down until 2030, Arsenal fans will be optimistic about the stability and quality he brings to the squad. Saliba’s journey from a promising young signing in 2019 to a cornerstone of the team is a story of growth, resilience, and ambition—one that both the player and club are eager to continue.
