ANKARA (AA) - William Saliba renewed his contract with Arsenal, announced the English Premier League on Friday.

The statement added that the French defender has signed a new long-term contract with the Gunners.

Arsenal’s statement excluded the length of the contract as it is currently subject to the completion of regulatory processes. The 22-year-old will stay with the Gunners until 2027, according to the English press.

Club manager Mikel Arteta said: “To have William extend his contract with us was something we have wanted to do for a long time. William proved last season just how good and how important he is to our squad.”

Saliba will use the number 2 on his jersey for the 2023/24 season, the Gunners added.

William Saliba, who joined Arsenal from St. Etienne in 2019, has netted thrice and made one assist in 33 appearances for Arsenal.
