Saliba confirmed contract extension talk with Arsenal
The French defender has performed very well this season and there is talk of extending his contract.
Arsenal defender William Saliba has announced that he is in talks with the club over a new contract.
After a loan spell at Marseille, the French defender returned to the Emirates this season and played in all eight of Arsenal's opening eight Premier League games, seven of which ended in victory. Along with Gabriel Magalhaes, he formed a solid defensive pairing that has been Arsenal's best Premier League start since 2007-08. The French defender's contract runs until 2024 and he hopes to reach an agreement with the club for an extension.
Asked about a possible contract extension, Saliba said:
"Yeah, we will see. They [the club and his representatives] talk a little bit."
The French defender believes that Arsenal's confidence is growing with each victory. He added:
"You have to wait every time and I waited a long time for my first North London Derby. I enjoyed it from the first minute to the end, and now I am so happy.
"We are so happy to win at home against Tottenham. It was a hard game, but we were focused all the game. We deserve this win.
"We play against the best players in the world. It is good for young players like me, and I learn a lot.
"The more we win, the more we are confident. We want every week to win, to win, to win — and that's it."
