Saliba has formed a formidable partnership with Brazilian Gabriel Magalhaes at the heart of the Arsenal defence, making 140 appearances in all competitions since his 2019 move from French club St Etienne. The 24-year-old France international's new contract will run until 2030, British media reported. Arsenal have finished runners-up in the last three Premier League seasons, with their league title drought now stretching to 21 years. They recruited heavily in the close season, signing Sweden striker Viktor Gyokeres, England forwards Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze, and Spanish defender Cristhian Mosquera, and face Greek outfit Olympiacos in the Champions League on Wednesday.
