William Saliba contract details 'revealed' as Arsenal star set to become one of club's top earners
William Saliba has agreed a new long-term contract with Arsenal - and details of his new deal have now been reported.
The French defender has pledged to stay at the Emirates Stadium until the summer of 2027, as The Athletic's David Ornstein reports.
Saliba's original deal is set to expire in the summer of 2024, with the Gunners having been in talks with the 22-year-old for several months.
Arsenal have agreed new terms with Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Aaron Ramsdale, with Saliba next in line.

Saliba Arsenal contract details 'revealed'
According to The Sun, Saliba's new contract is worth £200,000-a-week, with the deal including the option of a one-year extension that Arsenal can activate.
Reportedly, the French player previously received a weekly salary of £40,000, which means the new contract gives him a significant pay rise.
However, he will not be the club's biggest winner. That award is believed to go to Saka, with talkSPORT claiming he has put pen to paper on a deal worth £300,000 a week.

Saliba's deal will put an end to claims he could join Paris Saint-Germain, with French media reporting that Les Parisiens are pursuing the centre-back.
The France international spent last season at Marseille on loan, before becoming a key part of Mikel Arteta's first team this season.
He made 27 Premier League appearances before being sidelined with a back injury in February, but Arteta remains hopeful he will make a full return ahead of the season.
